Kevin,

Very nice planking, that planking will look gorgeous once varnished with oil.

Are you to copper the bottom?

Yes i plan to copper the bottom so no one will see the local Mahogany

I have fixed the video

Sorry guys i had some problems with the original video and had to replace it. It should work just fine now. Not a proper tecky i am afraid.

Best regards

i made this short video whcih covers what it takes to make finished, dressed modeling wood from raw timber. 

Just came across this video on youtube. Though it would be a good idea to post 

Have you finished the model?

I have been following your build with great interest. I am building the Constructo kit of the same boat. The process is a bit different but i am sure the end result will be the same. Your build looks great . Keep it up.

Video 3 Installing the cockpit

I have just posted another video on the America build which detail my attempt to make gratings. I would be interested in any feedback. It is included in video 2.

This is the second video on the building of the America. It is my first attempt to build gratings.

Hi Maturin

when i first started out in ship modeling i had few local referances so every time i saw a referance book i could get my hand on i would purchase it. I have used the set from time to time but it has not been a great source of referance material on gathering specific data. Not taking anything away from it i had just hoped for more detailed information on the British invation of Trinidad . Perhaps the battle of 1797 was not a major event so was not covered extensively. I now have over 100 books in my collection.

Looking for ways to make deck gratings. This must have been covered somewhere on the forum
