Internal Counter Planking and Lockers.
Either side of the Rudder Trunk.
A beam, triangular in profile,forms the straight edge for the lids and their hinges. I used a 4.5mm sq. blank, and sanded and scraped to shape. (Should have used a plane as it would have been easier.)
Ensuring it is horizontal, at right angles to an imagined central line, top surface horizontal and lining up with its counterpart,while balancing on the curve of the counter timber, was not easy, but essential
Perhaps fitting a plank first, would have made this easier.
Anyway, “holding” with the PVA glue half dried and sticky, I managed after much frustrating fiddling.
The locker front panel sits (athwartship) atop the deck planking. Its height is such that the lid, flush to the beam, sits on its top edge.
Between the lids, in front of the Rudder Trunk, is a filler panel.
There are also filler panels between the lids and hull. I made these next, but now realise it would be easier to make them after the lids are fitted.
Hinges adapted from leftover port lid hinges from an old kit.
(interesting that the wood of the lids look different although cut from the same piece with the grain in the same direction but fitted upside down.Without lacquer and photo, they looked the same.)

Thank you so much for your kind words.
Popeye, That’s a first for me. Another neat design by Chuck.
Andy I know you can do it!
Augie, The plans are the best I’ve ever seen but it’s Chucks design and
outstanding instructions that put it way over the top.
John, It’s always nice to hear from you. Thanks
Daniel, The wood is Holly and it simulates white paint really nice. Thanks.
Well we have completed our trip down memory lane. It was a fun one.
Thanks again to all of you who shared it with me.
Here are some pictures of the finished model.
Cheers!

Well guys, sort of out done my self this time on updates, figure it was time to work on the mast to make sure it fit in place before I can't get to certain places. After a couple of daysI finally got the fore mast looking some thing like a mast, but still a long way to go with it but its a start. Have to say thank you to Alan and druxey for info on the mast and helping me bring it to life.
