With the bank holiday giving me a three day weekend, I completed the starboard wales and gave them two thin coats of dull black I still have the port side to fit. I have thinned the planks down towards the stem. The blackstrake will cover the brush slips luckily😏 and a touch of filler at the stern. What is the best filler for colour matching AYC? Any suggestions will be welcome . Thanks for looking in and the likes. Thank you Chuck, for the kind and encouraging comment. Cheers

Thanks for all your comments, in the long run of things, it worked out for the better, as the wood I'm now using to plank is so much better than the stuff I removed after the accident. I've had to also strengthen the bulkhead parts, it all looks a bit messy but as none of it will be seen when finished, I'm not overly bothered by it. Several hours work and I'm nearly back to where I was before the boat threw itself to the floor 😇. Thanks for looking in and the likes. Cheers PS hopefully I will be able to pop in and see the actual boat when I'm in Norfolk in June. I'll definitely get some photos.

I'm being able to find time to get back working on Winnie, so a small update is due, sanding the hull continues, I keep finding areas that need a better finish. I have started to fit the wales, hopefully she will look better and more shipshape when these are finished and painted. With hindsight I wish I'd ordered some of Vahur's lovely black hornbeam for the wales. Thanks for your continued support everyone. Also for the likes. Cheers

As I have just received my order from Vahur, I'd like to say a big thank you for an old fashioned customer comes first service!!! He has bent over backwards to get this order to me, the quality of the wood is excellent 👌 and he takes the time to keep you updated to the status of your order. As a supplier of most species of wood used in this hobby, he is definitely worth a 5 🌟 rating. In short excellent quality, excellent service and competitive prices. Thankyou!!

That's definitely good news regarding your new venture, I'm glad it's working out well for you, even if it doesn't leave you any time for the shipyard. We'll still be here when working allows you a respite.

Shipping Costs
Edwardkenway replied to Goodshipvenus's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I've had parts and wood from both the USA and mainland Europe, and the shipping cost was roughly the same when converted to GBP from $ or € approx £24, the only difference was the duty/VAT to be paid on the US package. As I could not get what I wanted here in the UK, I was happy to pay the shipping. Just my tuppence worth (shipped free🙄) -

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
