2nd Layer Planking
Before I can continue to the planking, I will need to put the stem, keel, and stern post on. Anyway, the stem piece isn't perfectly fit to the bow, so I spent some times filing it.
And now with the keel and stern post.
Looked good, and glued them on.
Then only I started on the planking. I started on the flat, easy stern planking first.
Then I continued to the wales, which as instructed is to follow the deck line. I dipped them in to boiled water first, for like 5 minutes, then bent one side which will land on the bow. I used 2 * 5mm strips for the wales.
I then painted it to black with the aid of masking tape.
Done! This is how it looks after fine sanding

The rest of the planking can start now...
Garboard plank
Space for stealer plank.
Stealer/Drop plank.
Final step.. making 'customized' stealer planks
Added bulwark planking too.
The whole process took me at least 2 weeks, but I can sure it was fun. :D
