Thanks, I suspected those answers and I don’t know how these things happen. 🧐 Another shot straight down…the issue is symmetrical.

Good start plan! 👍😀

Hi Everyone, Today I cut out the fillers for the bow… that went OK, but I noticed something while in the garage using the band saw. The bulkheads look like something is wrong between bulkheads (H) and (I). The first photo shows a plank down low near the garboard… looks good, things work and I haven’t tapered any bulkheads yet. One more even higher up. Now this second photo shows the same plank up higher in the “A” band area. See that crazy bend upward? Almost looks like the bulkhead in between the clamps is too big, or the one with the aft clamp isn’t big enough. Of course all bulkheads were checked against the plans and bulkheads (H) and (I) have very little to NO tapering. 😳 You who have built or are building chime in please. I’m afraid if I ignore it and plank up the gun ports and the wales, I’ll have an “oh s***” moment when I start to do the hull planking.

That cockpit is really nice! I don’t know about the fighters but the Russian heavy jets have aqua blue painted panels.

Hi All, I think I can call the skeleton complete. I have to agree with the other comments about the bulkheads being flimsy (bass wood), so I did what others have done and stiffened them up making sure the keel was straight. I’m also glad I did not precut or shape any of the bulkheads for planking. You can really tell the difference just handling it.

Hi Ken, how’s the build coming along?
-
Superior attitude to have before you even get the next kit for sure! On top of all the advice on what to build next… browse through the build logs, something may just jump out at you. That’s how I ended up with the Rattlesnake for my second build. What’s you name?

Very nice Sir, very nice! 👍

I’m in. 👍

Welcome aboard Fox. Feel free to look at my Lady Nelson build and ask all the questions you want. I did, that’s how you learn and grow in the hobby. 👍😀

Hi Jason, welcome to the forum. 👍😀

Thanks John, Just my .02, but I thought the same of my planking on the Lady Nelson and afterwords thought “show me a perfectly planked ship (in real life) and I’ll show you a museum piece”. After all the wooden recreational and fishing boats I’ve seen (even the Lady Washington), planking imperfection seems to be part of the game, especially over time. Your bulwarks look fine! 👍😀
