The build continues...
Next step is the inside of the bulwarks. Another strip of plywood goes on the inside of the first one.
I really like the new keel clamper!
Before glueing this in place, I need to mark and cut out the gunports.
I dryfitted the inner bulwarks with clamps, and marked the gunports with a pencil and cut them out with a scalpel.
I made the cuts a little small, to have some material for adjusting after glueing.
Then some yellow paint, and they are ready to be mounted.
I glued them on, one side at a time. Not enough clamps to do both sides at once!
I also made some more progress on the dinghy. Got the primer sanded and some white paint on it.
It's coming together, next up will be the sheerstrake and then time to cut it loose from the jig. It will be fun to see how it will look inside!
Thank's for the comments and likes!

Hi all!
Just a small update today..
With the keel, stem and sternpost mounted, I planked the transom with the same 0.5x4mm materials that I used on the deck.
I used the gorilla wood glue for this.
After cutting of the excess material and some sanding...
Starting to look more and more like a boat!
Also got some primer on the dinghy.
Those brushstrokes really show up in the pictures!
I guess some sanding is in order before painting!
Thanks to everyone for stopping by and reading my log.
Also for taking the time to comment and like! It is really appreciated!
Gaffrig.

Added a coat of sanding sealer/shellac. Will be using this as the finish of some parts and others will be painted.

Well tonight could've gone better. I was unhappy with how this railing that the bowsprit slots through turned out, so I decided to try pulling it apart to do it again. Should've just left it. Broke of 3 of the corner ends as well as splitting pieces off longitudinally. Manage to glue most of the bits back onto the rail except for one corner. Now to recut the 3 posts and hope I get it square this time

I really like the gun sleds that came with your kit as well as the etched transom piece. Much better than my renard kit
