Hi Mike, I Planked from the Deck down for the first few Planks and Keel up for the rest. Sanded and filled after that. Mine was double planked, so after the Bulwarks, Stem, Keel fitted 0.5mm Walnut. I'll "Re-Sizes" some more photos for you in a mo. Cheers....HOF.

Hi Mike, If I may interject, the 1st plank follows the line of the Deck, from memory, 2.5mm below the Deck to accommodate the Bulwarks. (Apologies for sticking my beak in.) Cheers....HOF.

Hi Mike, Another thought, if you decide to separate the Deck from the Bulkheads, you can still "Pin" the edges of the Deck as any holes will be covered by the Waterways. Pin from Stem to Stern, or, maybe, from the Centre Bulkhead, work towards the Stem and Stern, (Alternate), one Bulkhead at a time, (Left/Right), then Pin in the Centre where Deck Furniture will cover any unwanted holes. If you are happy with the way things look, run a Fillet of glue from the underside around all Bulkhead to Deck joints. (If not, Pin again.) Cheers....HOF.

Hi Mike, Better to lay the Deck Planking after the False Deck is attached? This way you can "Pin" the False Deck and True it up. If you have used white Glue, can you not carefully release it with a Scalpel and re-glue? My Two Cents worth. Cheers....HOF.

Hi All, I really thought that I would have finished this but no such luck this weekend.... Fractured a couple of ribs, (Mine), a couple of weeks ago, the Pain Killers preclude any work that I wanted to do, so, instead, have been tidying the Ship Room and pre-planning the Cabinet. (Dimensions 640mm long, 800mm high, 120mm wide.) Next weekend maybe.... So close.... Cheers....HOF.

Very nice Mike!! I would hope that the cooking fumes doesn't disturb sleep!! Are you sure that the Crew wouldn't just take a packed Lunch? (Vegimite Sammies?) (I did the Bunks also but didn't think about the Kitchen facilities.) Great start regardless. Cheers....HOF.

Thanks Derek, That's very kind of you. It's been a bit of a "Mission" with the re-paints, (X3), my fault for trying Lacquer over the top of Acrylic. Kit Sails were a bit of a disappointment also. I'm hoping to get it finished this coming Weekend.... (Minus Cabinet as I still need to plan this.) Cheers....HOF.

Hi Mike, Welcome to the Mare Nostrum Build "Bods." A good start. I believe that the later version of this kit has room for improvement. (Steve 12345 Build) I'll be watching with interest. Cheers....HOF.
-
Well done Sir!! Ditto Steve's comments. Cheers....HOF.

Yup, That was my Boy, Sudamo. Unfortunately passed away a few years ago. (His Sister outlived him by three years. I now have Phoenix and Shewa. I'll never be without an Abby!! (I'll Post a couple of Photos if you wish.) Cheers....HOF.

Hi Tim, For a second build, what can I sy? Fantastic!! (There is nothing wrong with the colour scheme at all and the Plating loos good too.) My Partners Son had started this some time ago but the unfinished article is languishing in my "Ship Room" awaiting his attentions. Cheers....HOF.

Same. Have looked at the MS offerings in the past. (Have seen, don't know where, a "Diorama" of this model on a Slipway, any Ideas?) Will be interesting to follow regardless. Cheers....HOF.
-
Ditto for all the other replies Carl, Awesome work!! (One day soonish, I'll have to do the PE bit too.) Cheers....HOF.

Hi Chap, Doesn't look like a "Big Toy" in the slightest. The Colour is something that you could leave off but I think that it enhances the build. Once you have Masts/Rigging in place, it will all come into "Perspective." I really think the colour will enhance things. (If your worried about "Bright" Colours, just imagine that it's just come out of the "Slipway.") The Hull looks awesome, as do the Decks/Bulwarks. It's a really nice build, don't doubt yourself!! (My two cents worth....) Cheers....HOF.

Thanks Gentlemen. Yup, there is a lot of Sail and agree the lines are very graceful. Regarding the Sails, I had a gripe in my previous Thread, The Kit supplied Sails are not 100%, if anything their too small. A video of the real thing, not too bad for an 1898 Yacht design.

Unfortunately, I managed to delete my previous thread the other night, very clever of me. One Member, (Can't remember their "Handle"), was requesting information on the method used to perform the Deck Planking, but, I don't think that they had a chance to see my Post regarding this. Anyway, if they see this, they can ask again.... Over the next few hours, I'll post photos of the build thus far, for posterity and anyone else attempting this model.
