and welcome to MSW, Brad.

Mark, welcome to MSW 

You could leave that detail off the troops that are very difficult to get at, only you and we few here would know🤫

Nicely done Craig 

Jim! Welcome to MSW

Got my hammock already strung from the rafters. Great view so far.

Come on up Lou, I've been waiting to start on the brittle 😉😋

Quarter galleries are started, I'm so glad I purchased the laser cut parts for this chapter😊

note to self is do more dry fits before gluing 🙄

some sanding to do, but I'm pleased with myself upto now😉

Honestly though most credit must go to Chuck's very detailed instructions!

Thanks for looking in, the likes and comments.

Cheers 

welcome to MSW 

Yep, lots of rest, so take it easy, we're all patient fellas😉

Bravo! Looks great to my amateurs eye EG.

Excellent work, all the drafting work realised.😉

Your planking is coming along absolutely gorgeously.

You'll soon be starting chapter 3 and then I can follow your example.

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.

There is an flotation aid to fix to the hull, roughly at the area where the wales would be on a ship.

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.

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 line

it lines up better 

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.

OC.

Mine too, that and the Peninsular Campaign battlefields. 

 It must be just down the road from you Patrick 😊

welcome to MSW Chris

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 

You'll need a Regiment of dead a nd wounded French, due to the amount of troops they threw at the farm!

No doubt you will make them look excellent. 😉

and welcome to MSW. 

That's a lovely boat you're sailing😉

I'm on tenterhooks with this engine build, it looks totally amazing in your 3D rendition, can't wait to see it printed 

Fair sailing with the medical/surgeon thing! Hope everything goes well EG

and welcome to MSW Steve 

Having recently received some light pear and AYC sheets from here, I agree it's very good wood.

Also to repeat @Blue Ensign , it is good to have a supplier in Europe. 

I will use Hobbymill EU again.

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

The grass area looks great, unkempt, slightly muddy, and generally trodden down!! The hedge is just about right, a hint of Beechers Brook jump at Aintree after 30 odd horses have jumped it. Fab scenic work!😉

As EG said, in your own time brother!

We'll all be here waiting 😉

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.
