Interior wall lining (GIB)

Because I forgot my camera while we were doing the ceiling and i'm waiting to get some photos from one of the other students I will carry on with the wall lining, I will post about the ceiling when I have the photos.
We have been doing this over the last couple of days, we are using 10mm standard GIB  fixed horizontally, some of the walls are bracing panels and have required nail spacings as you will see in one of the photos.
We screwed the ceiling but nailed the walls using standard 30mm GIB clouts at 300mm centres for standard panels and 150mm centres for bracing panels with glue behind.
