Nice start. For caulking I use a HB pencil and rub it along the edges of the plank. I will precut about 20 or so deck planks then clamp them all together so I can hit 20 planks at a time. Hope this helps.- 47 replies

An absolute beautiful planking job! As for the finishing a lot of people use a wipe on poly. I try to stay away from varnish as it can be too glossy for my liking .

What size is that drill bit? I have had a couple small tiny drill bits bend on me before.

Good spotting. I was looking at the ship center of the painting and I notice two sterns. But it only looks like one ship? Or am I missing something?

The Armor looks fantastic. There must of been a lot of ballast in the bottom of the hull. You would think it was real top heavy!

Interesting Yard arm ends.... Personally I would do away with them altogether but if you want to keep them have a go at shaping some with wood as Ulises Victoria suggested. -
Welcome! The building slip looks great. Well engineered. Best of luck. Looking forward to what's up ahead.

Making a good job of the rigging. Are these ratlines going to be painted black?

It would of been a dangerous job emptying the fire box on these wooden paddle steamers. Did they ever (drop the fire) as they do with railway locomotives? How was this done?

Brilliant job! Can we have a pic with the brass nameplate? Your rigging is neat and tidy.

Hey it looking great. That's a good idea with the nails on the gun port lids. Your getting closer and closer to the rigging stage!!

Julie, You are the hero. Without your hands to hold those tools to sand,shape,cut and glue, Then those tools would be just.... Well tools:) Give yourself a pat on the back for a superb job. It looks great.

I do like the rubbing strakes, the dark wood against the lighter tone wood of your planks looks great. Good work.

That's interesting about your grates. Cast iron ones may of been a bit too heavy. I'd personally head towards the wooden ones IMO.
-
Well it has come up real nice. Your doing a great job.
