  1. The instructions do state to file them down......I was thinking just use a nail punch and drive them a bit deeper then fill and sand? Dunno if it will work but will try.....and yes this is double planked so any mistakes will be covered by the 2 nd thin layer And Sjors just flip the screen lol when in my iPad it has it the right way when I put it in there lol
  2. That is certainly one fine piece of work. Nice job nice job :)
  3. Ok a long session with not much progress but the back piece broke on me twice before I got it in right Then I put some hull strakes on....got 4 on each side.

  5. Ok life's taken a few turns sideways lately. Had the place all packed up ready to move and our dreams were taken away............so after some time got a spot to work on the ship again. I've glued in the upper stern and soon planking will begin. Oh and Kieth (themadchemist) inspired me to to put pirates onto my ship so here's my first try at painting the scale ones I ordered........ Ok may have more progress sooner the next time :)
