Copper plating is almost as bad as planking! I am now at the stage where I am really looking forward to the end of the plating so I can move on to the more intricate parts.

Well after just over three years, I have completed the second planking (almost). It does need a little filler rubbing in here and there but it isn’t too bad in my mind. The two wales are on the Port side and tonight, I’ll perhaps tackle to Starboard side. When rubbing down on a wet and windy winter day in the workshop, I took the opportunity to blow away the cobwebs with the compressor. I have decided to treat myself and take a break from big and boring once the planking is tidied up. I will paint the hull drill for the lower deck cannon add some of the additional trim then.... tackle the coppering but not until after we get back from the UK. I will persevere with trying to get some photos up but bear with me on that. I think I will start enjoying her again now the planking is over!

Awesome Hennie. I have just got around to sorting the first planking and tonight I have sealed with ova ready for the filler and rub down. I must say, I didn't know what I had taken on with this build but I have enjoyed it so far. Whilst mentally assessing my options, I had been playing with the ship's boats and cannon. Anyhow, well done.
