  1. I left the bottom straight without thinking too much about it. Since the lids would be open anyway, they wouldn't be visible
  2. To plank completely correctly, spiling is required, particularly from the lower end of the wales to the keel. However, we don't know if the wood Dave will use for the second layer planking will allow for lateral bending.
  3. I noticed this too. Your ship has a Bluff bow. Making the garboard shorter seems difficult. To create a planking pattern that matches the photo you've attached, you can apply a planking pattern similar to the one I've tried to draw on your photo in the second layer. To do this, you could end the planking from the bulwark down to the lower end of the wales, then work your way up from the keel. Sorry, I am not good at drawing on the computer but I think you can understand what I wanted to show.
  4. Yes, I guess with that thought, I also mounted the pin rails in place before the carronades.
  5. Yes, Greg, I visited that historic monastery. It's an incredible structure. The Sumela Monastery is a Greek Orthodox church built in 386 AD. The exact time it took to complete is unknown. It's located within the borders of Trabzon province on the Black Sea coast of northern Türkiye. Detailed information about the church is in the Wikipedia link below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumela_Monastery
  6. Sorry for the late reply, Peter. I don't actually remember why I installed the pin rails before the carronades. It would probably have been more appropriate to install them after the carronades.
  7. Yes, this is the right approach. In my Essex model, I frequently encountered this question: "Well, didn't the sailors fall through these gaps?"
  8. I only faired the first bulkhead in the bow before gluing it in place, because that one had a lot of sanding to do. I used my sanding macine to do it.
  9. Not really! Just sitting by the pool, sipping my vodka and watching my grand daughter Bon appetit to you too.
  10. For sure it is hot! but not where I am sitting down right now
