So I acquired the .5mm blade and have cut a few planks to get me started. Before I get on with the planking I finished the stern frame after having quite hard time getting the filler pieces and temporary window blanks to fit satisfactorily. I think I may have got it!! All glued except the white pieces, then I realized forgot to cut the circular holes careful drilling later! So chapter two begins, I am happy to start planking but apprehensive as it's not my favourite activity but I do have all the time in the world to do it. Thanks for following😃 Cheers.

Hello! I'm just about to start planking the wales and have put the batten on to mark the bottom of the wale planking but don't quite get the mention of a gentle 's' curve at the bow. I've looked closely at the photo in chapter two and still non the wiser. I would appreciate any advice/help. Thanks

You and me both!!! As a kid I'd stand and drool over the wooden model of Victory in my local model shop, but it took me over forty years to take the leap and actually get and make a wood kit🤔😜 I'm now in deep with scratch builds on the go and in the tool buying rabbit hole 😂😂 +1 It's always good to see old timers come back, (even if you don't know them) +2 ditto

Thanks Jack 😉 Thank to everyone for the likes. Going to take a break on the Cutter for a while as I've been having some practice with my table saw and feel confident enough to start ripping some planking for Winchelsea, since I've now (hopefully) done the stern, plus she's sat looking a bit forlorn. I will be back though when I need a rest from planking 😁👍 Cheers

Great job on the rudder and stem, they look so much better in proper wood rather than ply! If the plywood on the bulkheads has delaminated it was a good call to replace the stem! I'm pulling up my chair.

What was the other design you would revisit Chris, apart from Mars, just out of curiosity?

With the weather bad and being at home for a few days I've been able to crack on with the starboard side deck. started at the bow again. I've noticed on the nibbing at the stern there is one more cut on the starboard then there is on the port. As all is glued now I'm going to leave it as is and hopefully once the deck is populated it won't be noticeable 😏 Thanks for all the likes, comments and looking in. Cheers till next time 😁

Thank you OC and Mugje. To all who looked in and the likes 👍thanks. So today saw the completion of the port side deck, the next task is the starboard side. Take no notice of the coamings as they are ones I made up for Triton and are not quite the right size! Only a couple of mm small but it sticks out like a sore thumb. Once I've finished on the starboard it will be getting a scrape and light sanding before a coat of varnish. Thanks till next time Cheers 😃👍

Just to add to the chamfer/bevel, I would say a bevel is a definite angle with sharp edges whereas a chamfer has softer edges. I'll get my coat 😬

Welcome to MSW, very nice powder horns, great work 😃

Thanks alot Tim and Derek. Got two or three hours at the bench tonight. Carried on with the nibbing/joggling, completed the port bow section. The coloured lines are solely for my benefit as I would totally mess up on the butt shift pattern if it's not marked on the false deck🙄 also did the fancy planking by the main hatch. Saw @mugje do this on his build, so since I'm trying new things, I'd give that an attempt as well. Lots of filing, happy that the Cedar deck planks are easy to shape. next time I'll fill in the port stern deck and maybe make the hatch coamings. They will have to be mahogany as I have some 10x3mm which I can rip down. Thanks all for the likes and comments, till next time. Cheers 😉👍

Very very nice planking, crisp and clean! Great job G😁

Looking at your French troops I now remember why I always used to let the French win my childhood battles, as they often did till they met Wellesley's army! Inspiring painting OC, makes me want to get back into wargaming and figure painting 😏
-
We KNEW you were building your forces up and now we are sure, all those tanks and other armour 😆 and adding to your naval might Manhassett looks good, plenty of shine with the varnish! Here's hoping you get some ice this winter 👍 Does the name have a meaning?

Thankyou, I have started with this method and upto now it seems to be working for me. Thank you Derek, I must admit it was your Speedy deck that decide me to give it a go, but don't worry I know you've got a lot on with Glenn's cannon rigging and spars so I won't be asking if you could do it for me😉 these planks are just placed and not glued, and I'm quite happy with the results as this is the first time I've tried this. Thanks to all who have stopped by and hit the button👍 Till next time, Cheers

Yes, it is strange! I wonder if someone were to mail some to the USA privately, as a gift, wether customs would confiscate it as illegal or contraband, just a hypothetical "what if"

I fear you may be disappointed Glenn, as when looking at their boxwood pieces, it does have a note in the info: Castello boxwood is CITES listed and requires special licences for export. We regret that for practical reasons we are not able to supply this item to countries outside the EU Sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😬
