Timothy Wood Posted May 22, 2013 Share #31 Posted May 22, 2013 I agree! Anytime you can do the actual work rather than simulating, always looks better in the finished product!

MRWESQ Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share #32 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Just a little update. I trimmed the hull planks. Next I'll use some wood filler and sand them nice and smooth before planking the second layer. Unfortunately I'm going out of town for the holiday so I won't be getting any building done this weekend. Thanks for looking! -Matthew Edited May 23, 2013 by MRWESQ petehay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehay Posted June 4, 2013 Share #35 Posted June 4, 2013 Welcome Jake, Here is a picture of my progress on the Virginia so far, but I swear I'm going to finish this little lifeboat first. Matthew - I promise I'll start my own build log and stop jumping in on yours. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted July 15, 2013 Share #36 Posted July 15, 2013 Does anyone no while planking the hull do you connect the planks to piece eleven? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWESQ Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share #37 Posted July 23, 2013 Does anyone no while planking the hull do you connect the planks to piece eleven? Thanks. Which piece is #11? (I don't have the instructions in front of me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racerat Posted January 29, 2015 Share #38 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) The deck looks great. I was advised to use Varathane water based Diamond Wood Finish interior Satin. I used this on the deck for the Halifax and it dries fast, cleans up with water and doesn't change the color of the wood.
