This is my first build of a model wooden ship.
I chose the Endeavour as it is part of our nations discovery, and plenty of others being built to see gather tips and trips for the build.
I am using 2 pack epoxy glue(no nails) for all the timber to timber joining.
From what I have seen, the build may take years, and just as well I have started now, plenty of time to finish in retirement - when it comes.
Enough waffle, some pictures and see where this goes.
Hi Shipmates,
Planking on hold for a bit, as my left shoulder muscles are traumatised heaps - lifting too much.
So added the Naval Hoods at the bow. That pushed me a bit with the arm problem.
I glued 2 planks, then bent to the bow shape, trimmed and glued in place.
I am not sure if I brought the bow high enough up, as the holes only just make it through to the deck, even drilled up a ~ 30deg. angle.
Too late to change - will live with it.
