Bender got a reaction from maggsl_01 in Ragusian Carrack by Bender - Marisstella - 1:59 August 25, 2016

I did a lot of sanding on the hull and deck, and attached a few more pieces.

Thanks Mark, Red and Don for looking in and for your comments, and thanks all for all the "likes"

Here are some pictures I took while building the head.

I'm about two weeks behind in posting pictures. After finishing the decking on the main deck, the bridge deck comes next. I first needed to cut the holes for the main mast and mizzen mast. Here a picture of marking the main mast hole.

The directions said to use the supplied 4X4 walnut and bend to the correct shape or cut and shape from a larger pieces. I had some cherry wood, and decide it would be easier to cut and shape the beams.

These last pictures show the decking going down.

I cut the cannon holes and the deck drain holes.

I leveled the keel to the work table and used a building quick square to mark the side of the holes.

Drilled holes

Used a file and a knife to cut the hole to shape.

Well, I made a mistake. I'm a firm believer in reading the directions very well, and then maybe changing things if I think it might be easier or look better. This mistake is 100% me not reading the directions correctly.

Notice in this picture from earlier in the build: Starting at the bow there are three bulkheads that are tall and solid. These are bulkheads 1,2,3. Next are five bulkheads that are short. These are bulkheads 4,5,6,7,8. Next are four taller bulkheads that form the bridge deck. These are bulkheads 9,10,11, 12. The direction clearly state to extend the planking along bulkheads 13,12,11,10,9 and nearly to bulkhead 8. The direction say to refer to the drawing to get the measurements to know how much past bulkhead 9 toward 8 to extend the planking. I stopped at bulkhead 9.

In order to fix this I made two pieces for each side.

And attached one where bulkhead 9 was--which is where the planking ends--and one where the planking should have ended.

I then ran planking up the gap.

I tried to match the color of each run of planking.

Now the side profile matches the drawing.

I did get lucky. A timber goes on the outside on top of the seam. Here are some pictures of the drawings that show the timber. I used a small file as a pointer to indicate which timber

Thanks, Don, Brain, and Ian, for your commits. Don, before I ordered this kit from MarisStellia, I searched for someone else that had dealt with the company. I guess I didn't do the search correctly because I missed your Trabakul build.

I have finished planking but haven't resized all the pictures yet.

Here is a picture of the last plank before being glued in.

I'll post more pictures tomorrow.

I am almost finished with the planking.

The aft end needed to be finished and shaped first. I didn't take a picture when I finished planking the aft end, but here is a picture as it sits now.

I started at the aft side rail and worked my way down.
