Pic 13: Eventually you get to this stage! The small gap filled with glue is deliberate: it ensures that the final plank, seen here lying on the hull, is nearly full width (a plank only 2mm wide would have looked wrong and been very fiddly to shape). The gap will be covered by secondary planking later. However, your own model may well come out differently, so make your own judgement. 

Say goodbye to the inside...for now.
