I don't care what anyone says, hull planking is the most difficult part to do when it comes model ship building.
One would think that with a kit this expensive ($700 CDN) Artesania Latina would have provided strakes for a double planking the hull option. Though single planking the hull does produce a more realistic effect when done right, double planking produces a much smoother and cleaner look.
I would recommend that anyone wishing to get into wooden model ship building to pick up" Planking Techniques for Model Ship Builders" by Donald Dressel. It is a must if you wish to venture into model ship building.

Thanks Ludo - I worked solidly for 16 hours just get this point on the hull.
Those are the 16 hours better utilized I ever seen.
LOL!!
I can not believe you already have the helmet. You are quick, not who I remember.
By the way, had never seen the construction of a wooden boat. thanks
Gracias Diego, pero el forro del casco se ha hecho más que empezar. Tengo que cortar ahora a las troneras antes de que pueda continuar. El siguiente paso en el forro del casco es el más difícil y que la tablazón de dos curvas.
Looks good! $700? Wow!!!
$700 is a lot.
