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. 😁

should I try to find a long, flat plastic container for the wood?

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😁👍

Hannah is looking better all the time!  You are doing a fantastic job with her Phil. 

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

Another good beginning Denis

I'm with you on the coffee bit but I prefer dark rum or gin (not the latest fad types)

That flash look like wings on their own!😲🤔

I'm liking the camo paint job Denis,  is it done with brushes or airbrush?

Nice work!!

Your coppering looks fine to me, but I'm not an expert as I've not coppered any hulls yet😏

welcome to MSW. 

Sherbourne was my first wooden ship, so I hope you enjoy building her.

Don't forget to start a build log here, and you'll get plenty of advice and support.

Above all have fun!!!

Lovely looking hull, nice work. 👍

He's better looking than you😋 just a tad pale, did he have a late night?😁😏

It's gonna look great when you are done

YEA YEA YEA PLEASE!!!!!

 

We need to expand the Miniature Masons Guild, sign up some apprentices and start training.....

 

+100 votes for this.... we need more.....

 

(with the way the world is going we may need the knowledge in the real context in the very near future)

I'll put my vote in, be good to see another village/town

I feel for you having to basically go back to the start, I've done it with work and it can be demoralizing,  but sometimes it is the best solution. Keep on keeping the faith and it'll come good, with your skill and determination!

Nice detail OC, it's coming together nicely 😁👍

Hello, good luck with Syren and have fun along the way!

Your New Jersey and Yamamoto look superb. 

I'm a little envious of your shipyard 😉😏
