  1. More progress on HMS Terror. The false keel is nearing completion. I have revised the way I have been laying the planks to make bending around the stern and bow. Following advice I have revised the planking to make bending the planks. I have also started sanding the planks on the finished section ready for the final planking.
  2. I realise that, that why I’m going to have to lengthen them.
  3. Thanks for the pics, the supplied planks were not long enough to reach all the way to the transom so I’m going to cut them back a bit and add extra
  4. I finally managed to get some bench time with HMS Terror today and got one side of the hull planned with the first planking layer. It went easier than I expected.
  5. Had a bit of a break from the Terror but back on it now, ready now to start the false planning.
  6. I am a complete novice at wooden ship building, so you should be able to learn from my mistakes 😁 Thanks, I'm approaching that point with some trepidation. 🥴
  7. Finally managed to get back to the modelling bench. planking now ‘pencilled in’. Then the first coat of Oak varnish I have now started ‘roughing out’ the hull frame ready for the inner hull planking. Thanks for looking more soon I hope.
  8. More progress All laid down Trimmed to the base Test fitted to the hull Mast holes cut. More sanding and varnishing then some more assembly.
  9. Today’s progress on HMS Terror One side of the angled deck planks done and the other side places cut.
  10. This is my first ship build other than the odd plastic kit version. I normally build plastic kits, mainly aircraft but over the past 12 months my modelling mojo has deserted me and I’ve only finished two builds. I mentioned the above to @James H and he said he would send me something completely different. How pleased was I when this beauty arrived in the post complete with a keel clamp and plank nipper that James didn’t need anymore. When finish she’s supposed to look like this: so I sat down at my bench and this after got a good start. All being well I should have some more done tomorrow. Please do leave suggestions and tips, I’m new to this 😀
