No too big issue here on the 2nd layer planking, since I was just following the 1st layer.. :)
Anyway, I think that I forced the wood strip a bit and caused a 'flaw' at the middle part..

I also scribed the wood strips using a 8B pencil, that's why you can see obvious black between woods. :)

Here you can see the flaw more obvious from the picture below..
Anyway, comparing to the full scale plan.. the wale will just cover it! :)

| Wale Will Cover That Flaw |
After sanding with 320 and 600 grit, I then continued on staining my ship. I bought a Dark Walnut, and a clear gloss stain in order to get my desirable color.. As shown in picture below, from top to bottom: Dark Walnut, 50/50 Mix of Dark Walnut + Clear Gloss, Clear Gloss.

| Second One as My Ship's Colour |
I chose the 2nd one as my ship's stain colour, which look pretty similar as the picture on the box... anyway, a nightmare began!!
When I swiped my brush across my ship, some portion just didn't 'bite' the stain!! And cause all these big freckles on it.. I'm still finding way to solve it..
