The slow planking process on the Wampum VM Vintage Marblehead RC sailboat continues. Planking takes forever. I'm on the third plank for each side.
There is quite a bit of twist on the last few frames for these planks. It's been taking a clamp to get enough purchase to twist the planks far enough. In fact today I cracked one. I'm sticking with it as it didn't completely break off, but I'll probably see a crack in the finished hull. It won't be a structural thing, and may actually look kinda cool.
Or... it won't. But I'm too lazy to replace it. And this kind of clear cedar isn't cheap either!
It's going to take about a month to plank this thing. Yikes.
Aloha!
