Hope your hand heals soon- i also use a utility knife for work like this as it is more controllable. keep up the good work - gunports look great.

More timber added to the stern and made a start scratchbuilding some replacement catheads to replace the ply ones from the kit- someone gave me some hawthorn branches to chop for firewood and decided to use some of this- been seasoning in the shed for 12 months till i found a use for it!

Well I guess i better eat my crow before it gets cold 
 
Augie: Sir, Rear Admiral "Sir", please except my most humble apology.
What was I thinking, Sjors, himself another Rear Admiral make a wise crack in someones log,  I am ashamed. I don't know what came over me to think someone of his good standing in the community would stoop to that. I am truly sorry and please except my apology. I really did think he was jerking my chain. From this point on I will always believe everything Sjors says.  
Disclaimer: No Moose, fish or RC airplanes were misrepresented, used or in anyway injured during the making of this apology. And it did not snow. 
 
Well that's done        
 
Dragzz; thx again, I am really looking forward to planking 
 
Neptune: Thank you. Any information you might have on this kit would be much appreciated. It has taken me a while to get used to Corel's instructions. It seems to be based mostly on the pictures and not on the text. Considering the kit is shipped globally I find this interesting. 
 
Sjors: I think I am starting to see too  
 
Michael: Thanks for dropping by. I would not be here if it weren't for you 
 
Back to the build 
 
Well we looked at the plans, looked at the rear fillers, looked at some more plans, repeated this a few more times and then built this. I found it in Lawrence's log (Canoe21) and can see how it will have many uses for this build.
 
I think I will be doing the fillers very slowly and one stage at a time.  I will try to post my progress and steps to aide others. The waters a little deep on this one for me. Please do not hold your breath. 

hello sjors   the copper plate u did on the ship  is great work  keep up the great work as all ways 

as u see here in the pic i got some more gunports cut out . iam just going to cut out all the ports then make sure there all in line as i trim them so that look great . ps iam getting there and jpett thank u for all the info canoe and popeye

hello dave the vic is looking really great . your craftmenship is so good it show in your victory keep up the great work

Ahoy Dragzz
 
Your ports look great, I see that; that it is the way the Caldercraft Vic is done. Although they have that nice cheater sheet with the ports already cut out.  It might just be the best way to do this kit.. Corel's take on this is a little unnerving.
 
Thankfully I have your log to follow. Thanks for posting

I think that looks much better. They really seem to have a nice flow. The million dollar question is "Do they all line up with your #31's"  Sorry I couldn't resist  
 
I just realized you are working on the first layer of planking too. Will you be cutting these out now or are you just marking them for later.
