Snoepert got a reaction from AndyW in HMB Endeavor by Snoepert - Artesania Latina - 1:60
After fitting the trimming channels in the same way as the mooring bits I started putting in the hatches and the hull side windows and decided not to glue these items onto the surface as directed by AL kit but recessed them into the hull.
This was not an easy task but looks so much better.

I have made quite some progress since my last post.
The stern work has been a challenge as the poop pieces were larger in width to the formed stern area when planking and I have had to make some major corrections which where a little disappointing as I feel the kit was not quite correct.
I have also built some scratch pieces to reflect the finished edges to the area as built in the replica

I have decided to build the replica and had to do a fair bit of research and look at heaps of photos on the web.
These photos are the next step on my journey.
Along the way I have made a few mistakes and had to do some major repairs,especially on the bow area and the wales but I think I managed at least some good repairs.

I start spraying the bottom of the hull only to find I would have been better to hand paint instead.
So I did the rest of the painting by hand
I noticed the wales were uneven.
So I did major repair work and it looks better.

Further progress is being made.
Big mistake I made was not to check on the quantity of the Mukell timber strips I had left after finishing the decking.
Consequently I ran out and thought I had a delema on my hands.
Thank god for Float a Boat who seems to have everything.

Hi fellow Endeavor builders. I have just finished filling and sanding my first layer of planking and have begun with my second planking and so far is going better than my expectations.

Have come to the next stage of adding items to the hull and deck.
It's moments like now a small lathe would do wonders as I made the mooring bits but using a file does not give the perfect finished look.I have also put in nails into the mooring bits and cut off the heads which hopefully anchor the items more securely and will do will do this with all my fixtures on the decks

I have done some more planking on the hull but am not happy how it is going.
I seem to be getting a bad overlap between the planks and I think it is more own fault as I haven't fared the bulkheads enough.
Maybe when it comes to sanding I may have to fill some areas. Thank god it's only the first planking and I can correct still at this time.

Well I have finally started the planking and found it a little daunting to start with due to the slack instructions and photo's.
I was having a problem getting a true line and trying to understand how the wales tapered down.I finally got it running but noted a little pointed bit at bulkhead 10.
On the next plank below I will chamfer slightly to gain a more true line.

Hi Captain Slog,
I am now inclined to agree with you after also looking in many posts and lots and lots of photo's.
I have been having great difficulty in working out the bow gun wales due to poor instructions supplied by AL but I think I have it worked out now.
The instructions given by De Agostini's SOS are much more precise and clear.
I have been looking also at the painted versions of the Endeavor and am swinging that way.
A great example is the posts by Banyan.
In my future collection of ships I am also thinking of building the Wasa after seeing the ship in the flesh in Sweden and this one will stay in timber finish.
Any thoughts who might have the best kit for this one.
Ta,
Snoepert

A little more of the deck work was carried out today.
One mistake I made was not to use a sharp drill and I blurred the deck near the mast hole,hopefully this will be covered by the mast ring
Can anyone suggest what stain I should use on the deck.I have some cedar stain and lacquer and has come up quite well on the SOS.

Just a few more planks . I am finding to wood is not as good as the bamboo I used on the SOS as I find bamboo is at least a bit more flexible.
I am going to need to do a bit of filling and solid sanding to get the hull right for second planking.
