    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

    Just a quick update as I have finally completed the copper plating at the stern, so there is finally light at the end of the copper plating tunnel, hope to complete this phase by the end of next weekend.

    HI Erik, Hope all is well with you?
    Yes I guess your right, I had spent time before starting this kit, Although I'm an electrician, I did not know were to start, although the idea of Fibre optic was there I have some (two) Led lights that flicker,  My Next kit may be the HMS Warrior, So the idea may just have to wait for that,  
     
    I hope the ship is coming along, Look forward to an update.

    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

    Work has now commenced on the port side of the hull with the seemingly never ending task of installing the copper plating. Slow progress as I have been making sure the platingfollows the same lines as the starboard side. You can see the pencil marks on the first photo where I'm planning the copper plates to run to. There are similar marks on the stern but not  seem visible of these photos but they are there.

    Finally complete the starboard side copper plating. I felt this was a major milestone until I realised I have it all to do again on the port side and then have to plate the stern post and keelson.
     
    My plating may not be up to the standard of some of the more accomplished builders but it looks OK, and as was commented on yesterday by my eldest son the plating looks 100% better in real life.
