This is a dangerous area in the site and has led me to purchase and build things I would otherwise never known about.
Case in point: Grant's extensive build log of this Sierra West diorama model.
So, 8 months later, here is mine:

The general is aboard for a final inspection, and declares this build log finished to his satisfaction. (I think he just came from a ball or some other occasion)
Thank you for your likes and comments.
The shipyard is cleaned up and awaiting next year's project.
Happy Holidays to all.

Finished the first of the two ships boats: The Longboat.
A bit of a challenge at this scale. The planking job was iffy but the final product looks OK.
Tomorrow I start on planking the Pinnace.

Finished installing the skids, steps, and channels on both sides. The cannon port covers are done, with the holes pre-drilled - I will wait to glue them in until the chainplates are done.
After all this time it is getting a bit exciting to be this close to finishing the model (aside from the ship's boats).

I have roughly shaped the five head timbers and spot glued them in place preparatory to marking the places for the notches for the middle rails. The timbers themselves will require more shaping which I will do when I remove them to do the notches.
This is a very fiddly task overall and I doubt it will look perfect to say the least. Doing the best I can, and will be very happy when the middle rail is finally placed and I can move on.

Thanks for the "likes" all.
I have done some work on the beakhead, getting as far as the cheeks. Really fiddly work that shows up every small asymmetry in one's work. I hope I've mitigated these. The next work is worrying, as Chuck's instructions state that the head timbers are the really difficult part. Sheesh.
Anyway, 2 weeks now at our place on the east coast, so no ship modeling for a while.
