Hi All
Sorry I am back ha-ha.
Just dry fitted the next deck up from the quarterdeck .
Put the mizzen mast in to locate the position of the deck as you do with all the decks.
As this deck over hangs by about 23mm going on the plans number 8 I had to cut this amount off.
Next is to glue the deck on.

G'day Denis
I did and is amazing detail in the fur and I love that dog. Sorry for not getting back to you, my father is in hospital and our time is limited. Hope you understand.

Hi All
Just in case anyone is wondering what Greg was saying re the fur on the dog.
I did water colour paintings before I started ship building.
Greg is also a very accomplished painter in acrylics and oils.

Hi Brian
The plans don't call for the main mast fife rail to have belaying pins.
But I am sure it must have had them.
The kit supplies 14mm ones.
I think I will go with the 10mm ones.
But if any one can help please advise me.

Hi all
As I did not make the stove I only did the chimney that comes out of the forecastle deck.
I did add a lip to the top of the chimney.
I thought that I would also add some rivets to the sides.
I got some PVA glue and mixed it with some flour to give the PVA some body (thicken the PVA up).
I know the photo looks bad but it looks Ok in real life if you know what I mean ha-ha.
Well it is only about 16-17mm high.

Hi Thomaslambo
In hindsight I would use a pin + Epoxy,
I was lucky it happened now and not when I had the second planking on.

Hi Pete
You are correct in putting a nail in the dummy blocks before gluing to the deck.
We all put nails in the deck furniture ie bitts etc before gluing don't we.
I should have realised I should have done the same thing with the dummy cannon blocks.
I will put nails in the remanding blocks I have to fit.
Thank you Pete for your advice I do appreciate it.
I know what went wrong, when I put the CA glue on the bottom of the blocks they moved so I had to move them back by this time the CA was just about dry, this became the weak point.
If I had a nail in the block they would not have moved.
Again thank you Pete.

Hi all.
Had a bit of a disaster :( .
Two of the dummy cannon blocks under the forecastle decided they did not like the position they were glued in.
The little so and so's moved to the center of the deck, and they did not ask me .
Now what do I do, after some thought I decided to take two hull planks off.
I have now re glued the blocks back.
Now putting the hull planks back.
So much fun .
Denis.
