Does anyone know if this bulkhead width is correct? This would mean that the inner line is not parallel with the outer.

Another update
-
Yes, very minimal. Blueprints and few pages of text

Update, still working on the first layer. Using methods that Chuck explained and adjusting them as suits me. Should be more than good enough forthe first planking layer. I want it to be solid base for the second layer and get the curves right.
-
I have followed instructions for the upper half. Now i have to figure the best way to plank the rest. Feel free to comment. Edit: just cant get the picture right on my smartphone
-
Little update.
-
Aaand the first plank goes on 🍻
-
Checking bulkheads one more time and adding some width so the planking goes as smooth as it can be. I am suprised that the bulkheads have so much error.
-
Lower gun deck painted in black to reduce visibility since there are only gun barrels. I plan to plank only middle part that can be seen through the upper deck. Last two bulkheads are finally glued so i can't work on it today anymore. Frame for the lower cabin is also glued and reinforced and I also managed to cut the 0.8 plywood for the floor. The original plywood (which wasn't included in the set, i think the one i got is for hms victory) stops at the cabin so i had to extend the deck. I contacted Jotika support and they told me that they cannot sent me missing part directly if i dont spend 150£.

New bulkhead fits perfectly. Cabin wall curve is now correct on both sides and the outer proportions fit also
-
Thank you @allanyed. Those plans are just what i needed. Looking at them i noticed that the last bulkhead on the model is no wide enough. I will have to make new one in order to have correct inner wall curve.

As you can see this kit does not have interior for the cabines included so i will try to do it my self. I am trying to find the right blueprints of the ardent class 1764 for it and reference photos of simmilar ships. I guess the interior design is simmilar than the one on victory. I did found the blueprints of the quarterdeck but the upper gun deck is still the mystery to me. If ANYONE has any information, please feel free to jump in.

Hello everyone. Yes, I am starting my second project. First one is in rigging stage and i love working with wood, so.... I bought this kit a while ago and i couldn't wait to unpack it and start modeling. My first ship of the line. I wanted to build this one 5 years ago but i knew i didn't have enough knowledge or practice so i had to start with something smaller like endeavour. The wait is over, lets get to the work.
-
Since most of the wood work is done i decided to start with the 2nd project. Can you tell what is it?
-
Question. How do i add signature with current build below my posts?
