To let the planks lie 100% on the bulkheads where they bend towards the bow and stern I've marked out the edge of the bulkhead with a black marker. This is so i don't sand too much off the bulkhead profile.

Not too bad progress. Bulkheads had alot of fudging around to finaly get planks to lay properly. Probaly going to be few and far between with photos as the planking process takes its time.

Started on the deck planking. Didn't like the way it looked with the caulking so ripped it up and started again. AOTS book has the hatches on the waist deck in differnt positions. It shows the main hatch closer to the aft deck step and another hatch a little bit forward from it. I will add in joins and scarf joints later as i find it easier that way.

Removing the frames from the boards was a bit tricky, laser not cut all the way through. After removal a quick sand and now a dry fit. Instructions have the bulkheads numbered but not on the actual pieces so it was a bit of a jigsaw getting the correct order.
I have the AOTS book to help along the way.

Ok first of all hello guys and gals. It's been almost three years since my last log on here. I had built the Friesland by mamoli. The build log is still here.
So I got this kit awhile ago on a buy, swap and sell page. It's an old one but the wood inside is very well preserved. No warping, The rubber bands holding the strips together has long since perished.
Decide to have a crack at it and see where we go from there.

S.Coleman got a reaction from Archi in Trying to understand the functions of some rigging components.
I would go with the two ropes heading down to the deck. The ropes sometimes link around a sheave block and then are connected to the deck.
As in the pic...

S.Coleman got a reaction from EricWilliamMarshall in Bluenose II by Heronguy - Billing Boats Nr. 600 - Scale 1:100 - First build
Better veiw here. These lines were coated in beeswax and glued with 50:50 white glue. I find it easier to handle off the ship when stropping these.

Here are a couple from my Friesland build. I try to get the shroud tied right above the top hole. Sorry about the pic on the angle. Can't seem to fix that.

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.

Lots of detail for this kit. Really nice looking build. How did you etch the plates into the hull?
