Hi all
The ply board that the curves are on require cutting up into 7 pieces, the parts that make up the curves have to be soaked in water then I used an electric plank bender to form the curves.
The decks have 2 good coats of sanding sealer and only sanded them down ( will varnish later ).
The curves have 2 coats of sealer and 2 thin coats of thin black acrylic.

The port side gun lids are installed. I have 7 more to do on the starboard side. I'll probably re-do some of them after all are installed since I'm not happy with some of them. They're tricky little devils to install.

mtdoramike reacted to PMG in HMS AGAMEMNON by PMG - Caldercraft
Second planking is going ahead, slowly but safely.
The upper side of the starboaed side is now roughly made.
It still needs a lot of work...
First, filling some hollow zones,
Second filling the small gaps,
Third, cutting acurately the gun ports ( and here I realised that painting the sills was a waste of time, as you damage anyway the painting)
Fourth, sanding, sanding and sanding.
Here are some pictures.
May be that it can give some inspiration to Sjors about the quarter galleries.
