Planking Continues

At this point, it might be a good idea to repeat the motto of smart model shipwrights:
I will be familiar with the instructions, remember that they might not be in proper order, or as clear as they could be, and at each stage in the process will consider the implications of later steps.
Yes, there was a hitch in the planking while I tried to figure out how the stern planking runs. Unfortunately, there’s no drawing, and the instructions are somewhat opaque, so the final result may not be exactly what the designers intended. I did have to take one step backwards, but I think I’m on track again now.
Oh, well. I’ll make it work. I am an engineer.
Your ship seems to be taking – albeit painstakingly slow – shape.
Here’s to a ship-shape replica!!
