Here I have posted photos of the hull of the United States, (1/72 scale). One side is perhaps 90% done with a few imperfections needing to be fixed. The other side shows it with a thin coat of wood filler. You can compare the sides to see the difference. The hull below the water line must be as smooth as I can make it. The reason is the copper adhesive backed tape I use for the plating is extremely thin and the plank seems would show otherwise. You would not see the seems through the copper on the real ship. I have included photos of the tape.

The masts for the United States are done. Now I will "dress" them. Which means eye bolts and cleats where needed and slings, blocks for the stays. And of course finish painting them!
