    Very nicely done my friend, the Amber Shellac will really make a difference, can't wait to see it. Your attention to details is paying off big time, the boat looks amazing.

    Planking has begun, lol Yes I reread the Linning off your hull by @Chuck in the article data base, and almost got this time. It is hard to do with out understanding math, reading better would help to , lol. But the planks are on the port side. I have some slight damage to the bow below the water line , it was done by clamps that were way to tight, it will be covered by the copper . On a positive note, my ship doesn't rattle yet lol. So on to the starboard side, one more try at getting it right . I did change the yellow, from old English ochre to Bright yellow, the first Mate says it looks better. Time will tell. I can't thank everyone enough for all the help I have been getting. With out NRG and MSW I would be lost. I am deciding on how to proceed with the copper. Some paint the hull copper below the water line, to hide caps in the copper plates, more Research is needed . They say a coat of paint covets a multitude of mistakes, I am hoping that the copper covers all of mine . It will be a week or so before I start coppering, so I have lots of time. Captain Marvin says" time to plank the starboard side, get it right this time or I am going to jump ship and join @Glen McGuire crew, where they are havin a BBQ, Beer and Burgers celebrating his fine competition of his build. So long my friends talk soon

    You know Glen, if you need to muddy the shore a bit you could use some of that cows nervousness , or Sacred Scowts Scat, because we can't use the B word lol. Just fling it over, it should stick to anything lol. Did you know Christopher Columbus brought the start of the Texas Long Horn cattle when he came to America the second time in 1493? Who knew , Spanish Longhorns . Lol. Your work is so amazing my friend.

    Well done!! Here I thought your next post would be a Diorama with one of the clamps with a robe walking on the water. Lol Great job my friend, throw a coat of amber shellac on it , it will shine. I think you're having way more fun then I did, lol but that's what it's all about. Great job, thanks for posting, the First Mate wants to know which one is Jesus.

    I think you pulled off another excellent build. The wave at the front sounds good, to hide the support. Would the ship be moving pretty fast , ramming speed?. There would be a larger wave, with lots of foam at the front. But who I am I to tell the master of masterpieces what he should do. Lol. It is looking truly epical, as always.
  20. Knocklouder
    Simply an amazing amount of detailed work, the figures bring the ship alive. Congratulations well done.
  21. Knocklouder
    Thank you so much, @allanyed, I sent this info to my good friend @Gabek. And based on the info, he made me 20 cannons that when fully rigged will look marvelous. The right size and shape, Thank you both, can't go wrong with friends like you guys. PS I only have volume lll of TFFM, lol.

    Very nice work, it's amazing to watch. Some one mentioned rocks, off to the right side, just a few and maybe a few P elicans, floating around, lol.

    Hi Loracs, for me , At the bottom of the page there is three little dots that say "more" click on that. Then go to the article data base, there is all the information on how to line off your hull, and planking info. All you need to know about planking is there. I have been studying it for two years, just about got the hang of it , lol. Good luck my friend,
