Well I completed the coppering and went on to some other stuff like the gunport lids, stern decoration and then got a start on the figurehead and head rails. I'm having a lot of fun.

Hi David.
You are making a stunning model from this kit.
Maye some people might like to add the tables chairs and other bits on the interior of the boat.
Yes I think Chris is right... put some trim around the skirting.
Regards Antony.

Hi David.
Yeah they look just fine.
A lick of black on the bars will finish it.
To straighten wire that is bent. Not spring wire.
Cut the wire to length. Place it on a hard surface. Use another hard surface on top and roll the wire. You can tell then it has been straightened.
Regards Antony.

Hi David.
Looking very nice. It's amazing how high these boats were with such a shallow draft. But that's the Mississippi.
It's a good job that you are Dry fitting the parts together before glueing.
Nice fix.
Regards Antony.

Hi David.
Not seen this kit being built before.. Looks a intresting build.
Simple mistakes but it's the way we learn. Looking ahead at your next step... we do it every day.
Check then double check before you apply and sort of glue.

Thank you very much Christos, Piet and Antony,
for your kind appreciations...
Also many thanks to the "likes" for clicking on...
Christos,
I searched at Ebay for a 3D size suitable necklace-charme that could fit either in right or left mode....
Piet,
no "antique sawing" in this case, I was happy that I need`nt do any carving on it...
Antony,
thanks for your kind words, I`m glad you like it...
Basically its still after the enlarged Amati plan, but with individual fitting out and some changes...
Nils

Hi all, thank you Scott. Wish all ship builders remarkable year! Making some progress on the lower part of the hull. Few photos.
Framed the keel. It was all messy.
Paint work.

AntonyUK reacted to rafine in Friesland 1663 by zappto - FINISHED - Mamoli - 1:75 - Dutch 80 gun ship
Zappto, I do the filler in two ways. The first step is always to take a piece of the wood that is to be filled and sand it on a sheet of medium grade sandpaper until you have a small pile of sawdust. Then, if it is a small crack to be filled, I take a toothpick and put a small amount of glue on a tip and then twirl it around in the sawdust until the glue is covered and then run the toothpick over the crack to be filled. I then work the filler/glue in with finger until there is enough to fill the crack and a little extra. For larger areas, I run a bead of glue into the area to be filled and then sprinkle sawdust onto the glue until there is only sawdust showing and then work it a little with my finger. After letting the filler dry thoroughly, sand the area as you would with the planking.
Although I'm sure that others have different ways of doing this, these methods have worked well for me. I would try any method you choose on some scrap first before doing it on your hull.
