  1. What red did you use? The paintings seem to show more of a brighter orangie red? Do you plan on straight main wales or in anchor stock style? Any type of templates for keeping the port surrounds at the correct width?
  2. Starboard side framing completed, now onto the port side. Obviously it looks awful at this stage as it needs “a **** ton” of sanding and fairing but we will get to that soon enough.
  3. Work on the forward apron and cant frames has begun, nothing glued in place yet, just checking the fit.
  4. Liking the progress, what material will you be planking with? AYC like the other prototype?
  5. Aft deadwood piece was cleaned of char and adjusted so it was a nice tight fit in its position, it’s not been glued in as its shape needs to be sanded closer to what it will finally look like.
  6. Here are the first few Starboard side frames installed, we will begin to get a proper feel for what the model is going to look like now. The designer has left lots of “meat on the bones” for later fairing of the hull when framing is complete.
