These next group of Pictures are of the first layer of hull planking. It did not go to plan. I Glued the stem to soon I managed to cut it out. fill and re attach. Was not trying to ruch, More thought it would be better to plank to it for a neater edge.

few more of the Deck
-
Not sure what I wrote for these Pictures, I'll prob edit this later But as you can see I planked the deck and the poop deck, I did not really like it as I read the manual wrong, I cut the strips 60mm instead of the 100mm. From past comments and we discussed the will be a lot of activity on the deck not to really notice. Although I was tempted to go in to costa and borrow a few of the little wood stirrers.

Keel laid 26/12/2012 1835: After spending good few hours Christmas day, reading the manual and the plans. I’m ready to begin, but the wife had other plans, I could not start until she went to work the next day. Although I knew I had this kit (I was with her when she brought it, just to make sure it was the right one). J This is the first wooden kit i have ever built i have built a few wooden planes when I was a kid, and Plastic kits. So we shell she how this goes. Keel was a little warped socked it in a little hot water and waited it for a few hours for try get the warp out, not pined it on the plinth of wood (for storage) Ribs glued and checked for squareness. Only problem I have come up with yet, and I have re read the manual a few times over is the 5mm holes needed for the mast. Do I Pre drill before a plank the deck?

The third ship to be named USS Enterprise, was a schooner, built by Henry Spencer at Baltimore, Maryland, in 1799, whose command was given to Lieutenant John Shaw. This ship was overhauled and rebuilt several times, effectively changing from a twelve gun schooner to a fourteen gun topsail schooner and eventually to a brig rigged ship.
