  1. Hi, planking the HRU is still ongoing. The port side is almost done, starboard 3/4 done. I've fitted one bulwark bench so I can make up the side to the cap rail.20220514_120605.thumb.jpg.81c853e65a3711b9c6fd57ce49d20f1e.jpg

    There is an flotation aid to fix to the hull, roughly at the area where the wales would be on a ship.20220514_120640.thumb.jpg.92ab7b7028c61659c59a60a895f0988c.jpg

    It may be a while before the next update as I'm back working on Winchelsea  as well.

    Many thanks for the likes, all encouragement is greatly appreciated.

  2. Hi, I started the stern by dry fitting the transom, the whole thing didn't line up🤔🤨and I decided to throw it away and cut a new one. I did not cut any of the windows into the new version. 

    With the mk2 clamped to the stern, I marked where the windows go and cut 1.5mm inside the line20220514_104855.thumb.jpg.00e25f41197de74d50c81761b4ff739d.jpg

    it lines up better 20220514_104932.thumb.jpg.81136f8f72663388da1edf5eedcb7053.jpg

    a bit of tweaking here and there, plus the roundels and arch windows to cut out.

    I'm happier🙃

    thanks for the likes and all.

  3. The port side wale is fitted and painted, although it will need another coat at least.

    No bollards as yet, all the sets I've made I did not like enough to fit them, there's more in the pipeline. 

    Blackstrakes next, then the much anticipated, with a fair amount of trepidation, Q galleries,😬 I'm hoping I'm worried about nothing, and with my slow, slow work rate, they will come together!

    Thanks to all for looking in and the likes.

    Cheers
