So a little update. Since I don't have much time, and little concentration (I suffer from PTSD). I have put everything aside. But I do have some small things that I made.

No not really, I just used what is available. At work I have only brass from 0, 5 mm thick.

It's a nice one to build. I assume you meant the 2nd planking? I am still not out yet. For the rest everything is glued, no nails. For bending I use among other things a soldering iron. curving the strakes with notches made with a razor saw. These notches make to the maximum 1/3 of the width of the strake. The parts to be notched are determined by marking the places where the strake leaves a rectilinear position.

Wow ... what have you done a nice job. I am afraid that my work does not correspond to yours, I'm an amateur compared to your work.

Hi i am building the same ship..... unreadable they sent the German and Italian building manuals with the kit. i got in contact with OCcre and they send me a copy in English. I am Dutch but i prefer the English manuals. I hope you enjoy the building of the Endeavour as much as i.
