  1. I completed inner planking of the bulwarks and painted them. I wasn't happy with the look of main deck walnut planking so i decided to make second layer with 1x5 mm basswood strips.
  2. Starboard side is almost complete
  3. Beautiful ship and very good work. Congratulations.
  4. I painted hull and started coppering. I am using self-adhesive tape of copper. I made a jig for doing false rivets of copper plates.
  5. I made the model carrier and I have started deck planking. I am using 1,5x6 mm of walnut strips on the deck. Because of long distance; I added extra plank supports between bulkheads 4-5, 5-6 and 6-7.
  6. Support for bowsprit (i dont know its name), dry fitting.
  7. I completed first layer of hull planking. I cut the bulkheads extentions and reinforced the bulwarks before inner plankings.
  8. Thank you so much for great videos. I have a question Chuck. How do you taper the planks? Do you sand or cut them? Thanks.
  9. Great work B.E. May i ask how you remove the pins after gule dries. Are you nailing half the nails or you have a special tool for it?
  10. Starboard side planking goes on. Last three planks to complete
  11. Thank you. I have learnt one more thing, i didn't know this. I am not sure if they are pure brass. I will never leave nails on my next builds anymore.
  12. I am making some accessories. (Rudder, windlass etc.) I will continue planking of lower part of the starboard side later.
  13. Port side hull plankig has been completed and I did a little sanding.
  14. False keel in place. Planking continues. One side is about to complete.
