Finished the first layer of planking.

I thought I would give this one another go as I am a bit bored with pe on the Bismarck so I have started the final layer of planking.

 

[Jim R]

Hi Peter
That layer looks neat. On these double planked ships is the outer planking thinner and so bends easier? Looks a different wood as well.

Luckily yes and it does not need soaking to bend it.

 

[peterairfix]

Finished off the final layer of planking but still needs a lot of work
