Thanks very much for your kind words and appreciation, Robert! -
Planking on the front of the forecastle and door frames done.
-
Work on Beakhead platform done. And finishing up the bow section false keel 2nd planking.
-
Laying the bow decks and fittings.

Hi All, As I started on the beakhead platform, I realized that the Aeropicola plans are quite unreasonable. Therefore, I relied on contemporary paintings as well as fellow MSW modelers' previous works and came up with something that makes more sense (hopefully!). I also finished on bow section deck but I decided not to put treenails there as I realized that I can not put the tree nails in a clean and neat manner (too small space to work on for me). The other decks will get their tree nails. First, I had to put in a second wale in place before moving to next steps.

Whipstaff and rudder finally attached and fixed in place. Testing on the whipstaff also done with good results.
-
Work on whipstaff.
-
Hinges chemically blackend and attached to rudder and stern.
-
Work on the hinges of the rudder and gauging the location for final installment. I have used soldering for the first time and it was not that easy~
-
Hi All, I started working on whipstaff and rudder before proceeding further with other stuff. Since the whipstaff will be mostly hidden I focused on the functional properties rather than aesthetics. Below are the pictures of the rudder construction.

Thank you for your kind words!
-
Thank you, Patrick! I am still learning from many masters in MSW, yourself included~

Trying to have an overall look of the ship before proceeding to the next work streams.

Pictures after the wale is painted.

Looking at the overall color of the hull, I decided that I need to darken the planks above the waterline wale and also possibly paint the waterline wale in black although I did not find any contemporary paintings or pictures where the wales seem to have been painted. It seems painting the wale in black would not be in line with the practice of shipbuilding in the 16th century. Nonetheless, since there is virtually no distinction between the hull planks and the wood that I used as wale, I will need to cut some corners here - for purely aesthetic reason. I will need to get hold of hard wood strips of different color (to the ones used in the hull) for subsequent Golden hind builds. Pictures before the wale painting.

Hi All, 2nd planking is finally finished and the below are some pictures during the process.
-
2nd planking work begins finally!
-
False keel planking pictures.
-
1st planking finished and sanded. Finishing touches on stern planks done as well.
-
Hi All, Work speed in the shipyard has picked up a bit. I managed to finish 1st planking, keel planking and started on 2nd planking. Just generic planking work, so I will just upload recent pictures without much comment. Below are pictures of final works on 1st planking.
-
1st planking below the waterline wale begins.
-
As I do not plan to do 2nd planking above the waterline wale, I tried out the dyeing of these planks. I think I will need to do more trial and error until I get the color that I like. But, for the time being, I will leave it as is and see later on how the color looks with the overall color of the hull.

Hi All, It's been a while since my last posting. The work at the shipyard is progressing much slower than during my previous build, HMS Endeavor. I suppose since this build is a prototype and unlike my last build, which was earmarked as present to my sister, I do not have much pressure(?) in terms of time or duration of the build. Anyway, the below are some of the pictures on the latest progress. I originally attached the waterline wale on the 5th plank. However, I realized that the wale was somewhat high up. Therefore, I took it off and reattached the wale on the 6th plank.
-
Hi Patrick, Yes, of course~! Tapering will begin from the plank below the waterline wale. Rock
-
4th planks laid and the one below this plank will have a wale put on top of the base plank (cypress). As I do not have a proper thick hard wood, I will have to apply a hardwood that is in similar thickness to the base planks on top in order to show protrusion. I am trying to get hold of more hard wood materials. Hopefully, GH2 and beyond will have proper wales. The planking below the waterline wale will have a cypress base planking and a 2nd layer of thin, dark hardwood 2nd planking.
