There is also a very important thing that you must pay attention before installing the last pattern between bulkhead 16 to bulkhead 17
the gun port its very hegh and when you will need to drill the center of the gun port for the cannon , you will not have good space to drill
so i had to glue a piece of wood between the cannon support to the deck to have enough place to drill
here is a picture (the pucture its before painting it black ...)

Hello there
finally I can update my build log ...
here is some pictures from installing the patterns process
I can say that edge of the second pattern at the top doesn't mach withe edge of the firs one (at the bottom )
also at the curve of the bow section ....
same thing between the third pattern to the second
so I found the way to know how much you need to trim from the pattern to get full touch between the edges
I have install the first pattern temporarily and then I was putting the secunde patterned I let hem lie on the edge of the first pattern
then I marked the edge of the secunde pattern at the bottom of the first pattern :
like in this picture :
after marking I took the first pattern out and trimed the edge to the line that I have marked....
I did the same thing at the second pattern by using the third one (at the third the problem was at the bow section but it was a big problem to make them touch ....)
here its some pictures of the process :

So before anything i want to share my idea
about how to band the patterns / planks qt the bow
im not sure if i will use the plank bander or haer dryer
but i made this jig :
i took a photo copy of the front pattern suport to get the exact curve and then i shaped some wood as the exact curve using the scrall saw and sand disc
on the top i made a stoper with a space as the thick of the plank/pattern
here is some picures

Also it says that the gun port must to be flash with the front of bulkhead 17 , the problem is that if it will flash with the gallery pattern all the way so it will never be flash with the front of bulkhead 17 !
So from all that question it must be falsh only in the middle (or the first third as the picture of the factory )
and after glue the patterns need to sand the axcess material from the back line of the gallery support also from the doagonal adge of the gallery support all the way to the kill to be flash as the gallery suport ! And need also to glue a little piece of wood from the middle to the top at the gallery suport to be flash with the line of the gun port
please correct me if im wrong

Now about the new stage
(installing the gun ports patterns )
in the instructions it says that the first pattern must be flash withe the gallery support ...
it is imposible to fo that becouse if it will be flash with the gallery supports the front of the pattern (next to the bow) it will go to much down ...
also you can see even in the picture of the factory its not flash with the gallery supports ...(look at the red square that the pattern is out of the line of the gallery support )
also if the gap starting at the firs third of the gallery support and going out of the line its meen that at the bottom it will go in of the line !!! And if you will look good at the picture (on the green square ) you will see that in this section the pattern its more in from the line ...

Hello Friends
due to a lot of pressure in the office and some holidays I not had the time to work on the ship..(life you know lol)
but now im back and I have finish the fairing process and also I painted the interior of the ship black matte (using airbrush )
and now im starting to install the gun ports patterns , I have some questions of this stage ..
but first of all i will post some new pictures of what I have done
here is an example of correcting the angel of the front curve of the ship
I had this problem : you can see that the tops of the bulkheads not running straight
but in the other side it was a perfect so I decide to put a straight timber from the front until the last one of this section to see how much the top bulkheads tuning out from the line on the good side ( they was about 3/4 mm):
and I did the same to the other side ... so you can see exactly how much you need to glue and how much you need to sand...
and here is a pictures after fixing :

Thabk you friends
when i was talking about how to make the curve in the strip... i was talkink about the curve of the plank that going to fill the mess bulkhead and because the bulkhead has a curve in the middle
i need to fill it with some curved plank
and about the cuve of the ship i will do it with the electric plank bender
by the way the last ship i did without the electric plank bender i just soak the planks and used them ..
but any way thank you !
Michael.

Hello there
Just for the record ...
in the post no.3-4 i wrote about problem with bulkhead no.13 that i had to open the slot in about 1.5-2mm
to push it in for getting that bulkhead in the same line of the first deck as the other bulkheads!
after doing that i had to fair this bulkhead a lot at the downstairs
but now ... because i had to push it down i got an issue in the upstairs aria of that bulkhead ... now its a bit in from the line (about 1.5mm) ...
and i need to glue over there a strip of plank and than to start fairing that aria...
my build going very slow for right now ... Because I finish the work every day very late
and to do that burring job of correcting and fairing the hull its not the best option after a lot of hours at work lol...
i know that after i will past this process i will found more hours to work with the ship
here is a picture of the bulkhead that i need to fill up :
now i need to find the perfect way of bending the plank as the curve of the bulkhead for gluing it into the side of the bulkhead
ANY ADVISES WILL BE MORE THAN WELCOME
Regards ,
Michael .

Here is a little update of the stern block fillers
to make these blocks was a bit tricky
because there is 2 curves in a very small aria
the planks must touch the stern at least in 30 degrees because you need after all sand the stern and making hem 3 mm include the first plank ! So after making the curve between the bulkhead to the stern you must make a a other curve in the end of the first curve i mean in the aria were the block filler meeting the stern ...
by the way i didnt glue the gallery supports until now ...
and after all thanks God im very happy that i didnt do it until now ! There was a very massive sanding work in that aria of the block filler so without the gallery suport it was easy to work and also by doing the sanding /fairing work without the gallery supports it keep me from making any damage to the gallery supports !
Cheers ,
Michael.

Thank you Heinz !
That is true there is 2 planks so because that i not need to wary too much .. but i just tryingto do my best for improving my experience and learning how much i can ...
i think the first plank is the time for learning because as you wrote the second plank will cover all the mistakes
Best regards,
Michael.
