I agree, looking great!

Good thinking Dave! I will follow with interest!

I don't know about your question, but somebody does!

I'm not sure on the transoceanic, having never built one myself, but I'm sure somebody else can answer that question. Good luck, I will follow!

Yes, the lighting will add a great effect! You'll also be able to see the interior (right?) !

Hi Mark! That's a nice stern you've got there! I look forward to seeing more!

Your planking looks great! I look forward to seeing more!

She's really coming along!

Very good idea Don! I'm saving that one!

It looks great! I think you have made me add a new ship to the list !

The two halves go together quite nicely! Good job!

Phill, you are correct, the wood is very soft and crumbly! I am starting to think of purchasing some styrene and using that for templates. It would make cutting easier, and it wouldn't crumble! Maybe I can make a trip this weekend…

Wow! That hull is very sleek! Wonderful job Pete!

Hello, could you show some pictures?

This kit already looks fantastic!

It looks good, however, you don't normally pin the second planking. Good luck!

Great job! I like your deadeyes!

Looks nice! I will come aboard, if I may!

Last night I finished the stern holder. I still need to do some minor sanding. First, I cut out a paper template and nailed it to a wooden board.

Next, I cut it out. This wood is crumbly, and a small piece came off. The spot is circled in red.

I used ca for the first time to reattach the piece. I test fitted the sternpost simulator with it. I will do some sanding to make it fit better with the stern holder.

After I'm done sanding, I will work on other components of the building board.

Until next time!

Looks interesting! Good luck!

Excellent work Sal! I have noticed, only the portrait orientated photos turn sideways. The landscape ones are fine.

Very nice! Are you going to have the lower sails unfurled?

Looks good! Nice fix!

It looks great Jesse!

Water would probably help. It makes wood flexible.
