Very tidy planking, looks like you've got the hang of it, good job 👍😏 -
Yes, even we "real life professional" bricklayers use a big stick and a big hammer sometimes because walls do tend to lean over of their own account, 😬🙄🙄😂. I've been told by my garage mechanic that the big hammer is in their toolbox too!!!

Hi Liam, Sherbourne was my first ship too, enjoy building her and have fun! It might be worth masking the stem, keel and sternpost with some tape to protect it if you plan to leave it wood finish, although if you're painting her it's not so important. Good start by the way. Cheers 👍😃

Sanding and filler are our friends for the first planking. You can hide almost anything with plenty of sanding and filler. As Eamonn said 1mm planking can take a good run down. And the carronades look good

Proxxon fet saw blades
Edwardkenway replied to Edwardkenway's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Thanks Mark, guess I should've looked harder🙄😬 -
Thanks OC, hopefully I will get round to getting the top layer started soon 😏

I've just bought a proxxon fet saw and would like to know which blade would be best for ripping planks?

Thank you Glenn, to be honest if I'd had the plans for a brig I would have been building a brig, but I do like the versatility of cutters and there is so much that can be changed or altered. Thanks everyone also for the likes and dropping by. fitted the stem, keel and sternpost tonight. Still slowly making the bulwarks, then it's on with 2nd planking. Til then Cheers

Smart looking spit OC. The French at Le Haye Sainte won't know what's hit them!!!😉

Very very nice, you have got a good looking plane after the niggles you had with it at the start😏😉

@WalrusGuy has made his own quarter badges and explains his methods with good detail and very good photos. If you haven't already you should check his Syren log out

The bulwarks are slowly but surely being replaced and the transom frame pieces are fitted. It's a bit trial and error at the moment. Thanks for the likes Cheers 😁👍

Looking good, although whilst important buildings such as churches and manors were built with dressed stones, lesser dwellings would have been made using rougher undressed stone as it was cheaper and quicker. So I think thank you can allow a bit of randomness in the build. Edit: the quality of the stone would probably also depend on the wealth of the manse and its lord. I'm enjoying both your and Ekis' builds👍😁

Very nice alterations to the gun rigging, the end product will make the extra mile worthwhile. 😁

Hello from the not so sunny Spain.

You try a piece of plastic pipe with stop ends, I have seen it on this site for soaking planking but could be used as storage .

Hello again, small update, I've finished 1st planking, filled, sanded and refilled then sanded again. I think that it may be good enough for the 2nd plank. Also have started to reconstruct the bulwarks and will form the counter and transom. I will also fit the stem, keel and sternpost which I've cut from some spare walnut thanks for looking in and the likes. Cheers till next time.

The gun rigging you've shown looks very very good Derek, an admirable job at that scale😁👍

Hello, you've made a good start. Now I'm in no way an expert but perhaps you could put a shim on that last bulkhead or maybe take a bit more off the stern counter
