That's looking absolutely fantastic Mike.

Mike,
Now that you've finished sanding the deck, and applied a coat of WOP, your worries about any gaps between deck planking are definitely unfounded. Everything looks very tight and clean!

Just a small update. .
After applying a coat of W-O-P to the deck I decided that it was a good time to attach the windlass. The most important thing was to get the windlass centered and parallel to the other deck structures like the coaming directly behind it. Varying plank widths at the bow meant that I couldn't use those joints as an additional guide for alignment. With this in mind and not trusting my eye, I decided to make a jig. The jig was made from a stick ripped to the width of the distance from the coaming to the back of the windlass. Vertical pieces were then glued to the stick for the windlass to back up to. After heat bending the jig was I taped it down to the deck against the forward edge of the coaming. Aligning the windlass was a simple matter of centering it and backing it up to the jig while holding it down for a few minutes until the glue set.
Still need to clean up some of the dust remaining inside th ports.

Small Update:
Added the Mainsail and Main Gaff topsail to model, spend several hours trying to determine where the Gaff topsail tack and sheet attached to the belay points - the rigging plans were very vague. Finally got it figured out and attached. Attached the boat rack and boat to deck. Rigged the anchor and chain and attached to capstan and into hole for chain locker.

it's not too hard Patrick.......I'll find a good 'pause' area sooner or later. I put in another order for parts. had trouble with stanchions...out of stock. perhaps I can pick back up with one of the other builds. thanks for the good word
thanks Greg.......welcome to the asylum

Windows look very promising Popeye Dennis, like to see them in with a light inside and lit. We'll all sing Psalms then

Gracious! Step out for a week or so and miss a total revision to the concept! Looks nice, Denis. As noted by others, the whole world is watching and waiting anxiously to see what becomes of the that temptingly open and flat surface.......

Denis VS pause ... It is not you my friend. You just can not stand in place peacefull. To me, it seems a time for new build is to come soon

thanks all for the kind comments and the likes......work time slows the progress as well as the mind. now that I'm past the mayhem, I'm hoping to settle in, putting all this together. then I gotta see how to best clean up the main deck......the over spray is bugg'in me.
no worries Nenad!

Nice work with the rigging Jack! Can't wait to see what you've decided about colors!

Be aware that the "new" copper you receive will probable not match the hue of the installed copper...at least initially. This is probable due to the difference in time it was exposed to the air. Hopefully over time, the two batches should even out.

Last evening I ran out of copper foil I went back and did some math to verify and it turns out not enough is supplied on one roll to do the job using the single plate process. Also I probably did have a little higher scrap rate separating the foil form the carrier on individual plates; but not 3.6 yards worth.
Just sent an email to Model Expo and will see how long it takes to get another roll.
Here is where I ended up with the one roll.

Just a small update. I worked on the inboard stern details. The seats are completed. Card templates were made first using the plans as a guide. Then they were tweaked to get a nice tight fit with the parts.
Cleats were added...these are all laser cut Syren cleats (5, 7, and 9mm). All that was needed to do was sand them a bit to shape and then add a piece of wire as a pin. Then they were glued into place. I decided to paint these bulwark red also to match the many contemporary models I have seen.
Finally....the horse was added for the boom sheet. This was just a small piece of wire bent to shape. Two small washers laser cut from paper were added to finish it off nicely on each end. They were painted to look like metal. I should have dusted the model better before taking the pics....next time
I will now continue my way forward along the bulwarks adding eyebolts, cleats, ladders and pin rails.

Thank you, Michael, I will be painting the deck a sand color, the same as on the Buzzards bay 14, it should set her off nicely
Thank you, Patrick, I appreciate it
Thank you, Cap'n'Bob, She has a lot of the same characteristics as the Herreshoff 12 1/2
Best Regards,
Pete

Hello all! I got a good amount of time in my papas shop on Saturday, and I was able to do a couple things. Firstly, I finished cutting out the paper hull templates.
I then made a wooden side former and made sure it fitted along the second station line on the building board. I also started another one. I may have to adjust the height, but not at this time.
I got an idea from David (dgbot). He suggested that I make something that will make sure the hull always ends up in the same place when I place it on he building board. I needed to make a sternpost simulator that is removable because I might want to use the building board after I have the keel on. I made a cutout of the sternpost. I think I am getting better at cutting paper with an Exacto knife !
I then nailed it, with miniature nails, to a sheet of wood.
After that, I cut it out with my papa's coping saw. I will need to buy my own soon.
Sadly, the little nub sticking off, that would help support the rudder, came off. It isn't essential, but I will have to be careful when making the real thing. The smaller photo in the bottom right corner is the unedited photo.
I will finish touching it up with sanding, when I am home, and I will start work on the stern holder. I will call it the stern holder from now on, unless there is a better name.
Until next time!

Today, I decided that it would be better to get the Deck on, rather than finishing up the Cockpit. This way the Keel can be installed. I started by fairing the deck beams to the correct camber. I then cut out and installed the Deck. I then faired in the Deck with the Hull to 180 grit sandpaper. The boat will now be rigid enough to turn her upside down and install the Keel and Deadwood. Here are the results

Your fairing looks perfect, time well spent with dividends to pay off soon. Well done
