    Thanks to everyone that stops by.just a small update, I have finished planking this lower gun deck, I think it looks ok, im not over happy but as your not going to see most of it, im going to rub it down over the next few days as i have noticed a few wood shards,

    Just a small update, I have been reading the manuals, and looking at other build logs to get a idea of whats next on the to do list.. The Lower deck planking between 4 & 12 bulk head, I wanted to make sure that every plank will be the same, (although i'm guessing this part will not really be seen) so I'm going to use this time and space to try out a few/new ideas, I,m going to try tree nails I made a little jig to cut the 80 mm deck lengths (if this is wrong size please let me know) also made an extra bit if I have the need for 40 mm (half) and then after we had been shopping, a nap and lunch, Lol, I thought of a jig for the tree nails, I'm happy how this has turned out, and how the few planks I have glued in look, (Will edit picture of this in a few days)

    Hello All, I have finished the first layer of the hull, filled and sanded, came out not bad tbh, Might add a little bit of filler around the Bow. all though i was adding 2 per side per day,, the last few was 3 due to the small size, a any ways this task was done..
