Greetings Rich
So here we go again. Keep building down and out. You can make fine adjustments as you go. Infill all the small gaps at once, and don't leave them until the end, it's easier. Good luck this time. DAVID

Gil,
I follow you in silence and still impressed with what you are doing.
When I take a look at the whole log I have a suggestion for you...
When you are finished can you bring this log to a publisher ?????
For me it should be a book that I want to have as a guide for my builds .

Many thanks Jack. Since I'm about to start on the ship's boats, I'll refer to your site for a heads up.
I had experimented with clear acrylic flat and clear acrylic semi-gloss for the glazing of the lanterns. It worked well, but was too opaque, rather like plastic milk carton appearance. The Micro-Glaze gave a much more realistic appearance. A couple photos show the outcome.

Greetings All, Thank you every one for dropping by, Leaving a comment advice or a like.
Sjors: : thanks for the info took a while to find his page.
Peter: your right there is no right or wrong way to plate, only advice, which is always gratefully received.
Jerry: can't wait to see your ship all tall and great in the case.
>> right i have taken all advice pictures and information...and this is how i'm attempting the hull plates v3.0
Starting at the rudder/keel, running all down the false keel until i reach the stem post, then starting center of that should be 21.5 tiles left and right, (this is the total center line), . Moving left and right. adding another row of tiles, mine had to be bent on one edge about 1.5 mm (( keep it straight) I then from the center line
See Picture! I now have 6 rows.
Tea Break:
Now moving forward to the stem post adding tiles from 5,4, 3 ,2,1, and repeat.. I have about 6 on row one now.. Ill add some picture over the week end,

Update before shore leave.
Greetings All, Thank you every one for dropping by, Leaving a comment advice or a like.
A last update for a month or so while im away... Well The UK Summer is almost over....Did it start and I miss it again..!?
I have stripped the bass plates off, re cleaned and primed the hull. As the Wife wanted a good house clean I did not really start anything messy. I
have painted the Black strips on the starboard side ATM, a few re do overs for better looking lines..
I did have a few bleeds with the taping but cleaned it up a few touch ups when i get back.
Finally the book has arrived today... The nasty person said I can't take it with us on holiday
Catch up with you all soon
Tc and stay safe and out of trouble...

And the sheet anchor. The chain and spliced line to support the anchor shaft and on the right, the line for lashing the stock.
The sheet anchor lashed in place.
And on to the next challenge. Cheers, Gil

Lanterns and supports painted.
Lanterns mounted. The top of the lanterns have not been fixed in place in order to add glazing inside the lanterns. I'm experimenting with glazing. Has anyone tried the Micro Glaze from Micro Mark? And if so, does it stand up to handling?
The smaller Admiral's lantern is attached aft of the main top.

Carronades completed, ready for rigging. Planning on rigging the cannon later on.
First part of bow assembly completed with the curve bow rails painted and fitted.
The hair bracket and lower bow cheek rail also painted and fitted.
The four timber heads have been painted, but are only dry fitted in the following photos.
I will need adjust the timber head slots for the rails so the fit properly when fitted
