Mr. Pucko, I was waiting for a built of this ship!

I'll pull up a chair, and watch it with very much interest to see it grow

Blow the horn, hide the children, the vikings are coming !!

I am thinking about building this ship.  On any  factory or shop site, i cannot find anything about the hull planking.

Is this double planking method, or it is single layer planking or the more forgiving dubble layer,

is there anyone who can tell us more about this?

With Thanks, Ron-B

Fist layer looks good, especially at the bow !

Waiting for the next part.

Hi Terry, I would also say, use some thin strip glued on the bulkheads to fill up, and then sand for a smooth fairing.

And mayby, use some balsa filler blocks for a larger glue surface and more smooth fairing.

The total thickness at the gunports is ca 3,5mm ( first, second, and bulwark inner planking)

Ron

Another note, the instructions say nothing in detail about the gunports and water spilling holes on the deck.

Maybe an idea to place some material on those places, sand them flush, and then do the inner planking. Otherwise, you end up with a hollow space at those places, the metal gunport frames do not cover those openings competely.

Hi A,

Nice to see someone building this model too!

I did the same cross-section last year may, and it was a realy nice first experience for me with a wooden model.

Instructions were very clear, and with nice drawings too!

Looking forward to follow the build,

Ron

Hello Doug,

Thanks for your reaction.

About the windows at the stern, i will see what I do

The sloops i was referring too, i wrote it wrong, must be resin (the material), i have seen these somewhere on the net, they are very good detailed and accurate mini models.

For now, i go along making a carefull start whit my Supply.

When i need help, i sure will not hesitate to ask.

Regards,

Ron

Hello Doug,

I just bought theCaldercraft  Supply also, but in my box I see no resign sloops, and the drawings mention nothing about windows in the stern.

 Did you "super" detailed them, or can it be that you have a different version?
