Some of these deck items are more complicated than I thought they were going to be. Didnt realise I had to so the shaping on the pin rail bits(not sure if correct term) or the little square parts on the railing

Thought I'd add a couple of photos of what I added today, the break water and the fore hatch coamings. Disappointed in how they both came out.

And it has sat gathering dust again until today. Burst of enthusiasm

Tompslattery got a reaction from GemmaJF in What knot was used to secure the anchor to the cable in the 18th century period
Would the anchor bend be used in a french cutter built approx in earlier 1800's?

The rudder is on and the 2nd layer of planking complete

Glued the first of the 2nd layer of planking. Also glued the transom on. It needs to have a keel piece added to the stern. Do I then plank the veneer on either sides of that keel piece?

Hi
I started this kit approximately 11 years ago. It has traveled half away across the eastern side of Australia through various moves. Last time I looked at it was roughly 5 years ago. Pulled it out and decided to try and finish it. Its haunted by the ghosts of mistakes past. These are photos of where I left it.

Those drawings help make sense. The problem i was having was sliping the bracket over the barrel in the nook, even after I enlarged it. Having that angled access would make it easier.

Hi all
Should this part of the stern be planked? Or just painted?

Some more progress on the 2nd planking. The bow is looking a bit rough.

Horizontal. I'd suggest looking for cutter's and schooners in the build log there are plenty

Tompslattery got a reaction from Canute in Planking stern
Yes it's Le Renard. Should the planking go horizontal or vertical?

Yeah, they're a screw clamp sold by modellers shipyard in Australia. I started using them but found them annoying to screw in and out. As well as not always holding well. Tried drawing/push pins and found those much better.
