Thanks for the likes and everyone who is visiting from time to time. Ratlines are done! I can not see any ratline for a while now..... I don't count them but there are a lot. Pictures are a little bit bad because she is to big to get het in one shot.... Sjors

After a few weeks of planking and a little bit more sanding the hull is smooth! A smooth substrate for the second planking. That will start in a few days.... For now pictures. I don't make any stealers or drop planks because you don't see a thing about it! Just the easy way 🙂 Sjors

Hi Mick, The Nuestra don't give me much problems but I have to finish it for my wife. And it is always a little difficult to go further on something that is done for a big part. I'll be making ratlines on that one. but almost finished. Sjors

Again a little update. The gun bulwarks are in place. It was a little tricky but it goes better than I thought. A few minutes soaking in hot water and the job was done. Also placed the stern facia and stern facia knees. And the stern counter facia. The first plank can be placed. Enough talking so time for some pictures. Sjors

HMS Snake was launched in 1797 as the only member of her class of brig-sloops. She captured or destroyed two French privateers and one Danish privateer. She also captured numerous small merchantmen, but spent time escorting convoys to and from the West Indies. She was sold in 1816. Scale: 1:64 Length: 910 mm Width: 350 mm Height: 910 mm And now the build begins.

Henrik, What you can do is put some sawdust with glue in the wood that is open till it is smooth as the rest. Light sanding the whole bow part and paint it black again! Or glue on both side a small part of wood and paint it . But do that on both sides and nobody will see it. Only the people who follow you 😂 For the rest looks it just great!! Sjors

Again a little update. I have make the shrouds for the lower mizzen-, main,- and foremast. I also started with the ratlines on the foremast . I have no rope anymore for the ratlines so that has to wait for a few days before I can go on. I ordered new rope and maybe at the end of the week I wil have it. Sjors

Okeeeee, Hi George from Greece 😀 Wow, all the filler is sold out in Greece??? Now you have a lot of sanding to do! And don’t forget to remove the nails. You will see that when you paint the hull. And don’t forget to sand around the gunports. The planks are thick enough. Good luck! George from Holland 🤣
