HI all, I have added the Wales (Pic to follow), over the last few days which I found at time hard, well the lineament of the first one, I have how ever, Stand up and say i made a mistake, I used 1x4mm for the upper Wales, For what ever reason I had read it but the time i came to them forgot it should be 1x3.5mm,, So this had to be cut out and re done. Im happy with it now. I now need to start lining the lower gun ports.. Not a task I'm looking forward to....- 414 replies

Well that was a nice coffee, Yep 1x10mm I have ordered more, Just waiting for them now from CWM ,been looking over what i have done, not sure if I like how the gun ports have come out, I may Prime the wood, and see who it looks after. Still having fun, I either work on the ship or not depending if i'm tired from work etc Schnu, Im also glad i have not been using the wrong size, but you know when just have that feeling something is wrong. Kevin, Thanks, Ill have a look at yours in a bit. once i have cleaned up after dinner.. Thanks in advance for stopping by,

Just Sat Down to start a few more gun ports, realized and thought,There is no more 1x10mm, there was only one length I have 5x16m lengths, am I using the wrong size for the gun ports? Oh what a great end to a rubbish day! Time to make a coffee and re read the book.
-
very nice, work Glen, How are you finding cutting the plates and how? what type of varnish are you using?
-
Thank you all for viewing,likes and comments Well, I have managed to size and line another 5 Gun port. should finish the lower Gun ports on the starboard side. finding it bit fiddly, but no rush, just sat here watching tv while working.
-
Hello Glen, Hull is taking shape and looking great.
-
Hello David, Ok that's great I did wonder why they where on on the templates, Have you had a issue when lining the gun ports, and checking the size with the lids and they are to small?
-
HI Paul, Just Came Across your Log, Very Nice work So far, I do Like Contrcuto Kits (only built one) LOL.. But Good Luck with the rest of build.

Hello All Thought I would sit down tonight and post and update from the No 10 Ship yard, Thank you all for comments and likes, very appreciated. I have installed the rework of the inner gun port (one side, atm) and lined the gun ports and slowly working my way up with the 2nd layer of planking, I have decided to line the rest of the gun ports just to break up the build for now. I also have noticed that i need to cut out 2 gun ports on the bow Gun ports are are 2x per night Cheers

Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. After taking the Advice from David & Glen, (thanks again) As you can see the pencil line I carefully cut and sanded this off, it fits great now, I still have other side so to. I did make a cannon,( not fully glued as i there are a few things i want to do, but just to prove its now at the right hight. (There is not decking under the cannon, I had removed it,so it will be a few mm higher. Will work on the rest for the next week or so
