Thanks for your kind support, I do have option of painting maybe veneer was pushing it. I have been checking further stages and checking off the parts, it seems I am short of gun door hinges and not enough gun doors (easy to make) may be worth a check to see if everything is in your kit.

Really impressed especially the curves around the bow without twisting and gaps.

I'm having same problem think it is from the first pieces we put together the slots for the gun ports were not accurate, as we do keen to get going did not check, blame sloppy manufacturer easy way out.

I got away with this but my job is easier as I am using veneer, also on the upper part have planked all the way across.

Rob I noticed earlier in your build the clamps to hold the frame of your transom to the poop deck while drying, again I struggled there I think it will catch me out later.

I live in Caerphilly similar to how you build a ship carefully😀 Look it up beautiful castle I live a quarter of a mile away.

I like that planking below the wales I struggled a bit there. Ironically I live in Wales.

Hi all. The veneers are from Barrow in Cumbria UK. Search wooden model ship hull planking on auction site it shows all the different options, this is a UK site.

A book I have found very handy attached photos. Please note my computer skills are limited so I apologise in advance for any mistakes.

By coincidence I am at roughly the same stage as your model, I did not use the green plates I cut up tanganika veneer into 1/2 inch strips looks fine. Hint inside the gun ports will be red paint them before planking around.

I have gone for the veneer effect using fumes oak for the black areas, using beech for the yellow area. I'm new to this just having fun, are there rules?
