Hi

Using some wood inside the gunports and sweep ports 

than plank around , it works well 

I finish the stern planks and started to paint it red using artist paint from winsor and newton  (the cooler crimson)

All the planks is castello boxvood

Hi again,

yust another task has been  dunn

and bend it around  

The boxwood strip is in exelent condison 😊

Thanks for the liks everyone 😄

Am keeping on running, 

A have know faring the inner bulwarks and some planking at the stern, I will wait with the rest planks so I can make the hole

for the rudder.

I do have also the 7 last planks on portside to finish 

To faring the inner hull I used  3 pises of tools , easy peasy 😊

I did finish the starboard hull planking , I did some mistakes here erlier 

my tappering was not enuff at the start, so I got a problem with the last 7 planks

I have to take the garboard plank more aft then I was thinking 

so its not perfekt but close and the hull is getting copper plates later 😊

Erik,

 

Shorten the garboard back a bit, and change the shape at the bow to better follow the current run of the planks. You should be able to fit all of the strakes in that way. 

 

Good progress. 

Thanks for the coment ,

as I did this hum#**/&%+...... 😲 am thinking of using a drop plank to do the task here

and take this with me on the nex build 

as the syren get's the copper plates it vil not been seen 

Svein.erik 

Thanks for the liks 

but Huston, I have a problem😲

I think I did some wrong with the planking, its Seems to me it going to get to narrow 

there is 7 planks to fitt in there (about 2mm at the stem)

So do I take all the basswood strip off ore just leave it?

Svein.erik

Thanks for the likes and kind works, 

am moving my way down to the keel using the crapy basswood 

I just started to form the garboard plank before the last planks get on board 

Svein.erik 

This is my scale Sander works😲

Yust got this from ME

and am going to glue some sandpaper in the side of the notches 

then run true the basswood so it is even 1/8 

before I glue it to the model

Svein.erik

Thanks for all the likes again, it keeps me going😆

but I did need some more lights 

so I Whent to IKEA to get some stuff and built it
