I hit the assembly various times throughout planking the hull so I waited until the hull was finished and smoothed everything and then applied more WOP. I don't think you can go wrong touching it up now and then when you finish planking the hull though. Kind of 50/50 to me.

Looking real nice Bob. Thanks for the advice to paint first!

Very nice! Enjoy your vacation.

I would leave them as is until you take some measurements from the plans to confirm what is the correct height.

That looks outstanding. So much nicer than anything I've seen in the past!

Looking good. You'll be surprised how quickly it cleans up.

That may be a bit of an understatement!

She's looking really nice Glen. I have faith you'll conquer the moldings before you run out of wood!

Chapter 4 Cherry parts have arrived as well as the hatch grating kits!!!!! They are even better that they look. I installed the beams that create the opening for the hatches. Next I had to "fair" the tops of the bulkheads. As I decided to cut my own bulkheads there is some minor variations in the height of the tops of the bulkheads. It's probably a combination of sanding to the line or taking the line. That seems minor but it can cause some minor stepping. To get the run as smooth as possible I sanded the whole thing. Next I'll start dry fitting the false deck and then start throwing some wood on the inboard bulwarks! Having a lot of fun with this.

Wonderful job on the deck. Have you given thought on how you're going to mount her yet?

While waiting to start chapter 4 I've been doing some prep work. I've planked the fore and aft sub decks with pear. Then I sorted through the pear I'm using to plank the deck. I've tried to get pieces with the most consistent color. Even so you will notice that the color can change over the length of a strip so I'll have to pay attention! Spare planks are in the sleeve on the right. The inboard bulwark planking will consist of 3/16", 7/32, and 1/4" planks. They have been cut and seen below. After that I glued together 1/4" and a 7/32" pieces which represent the two rows under the gun ports. I placed them on a piece of 1/32" to simulate the thickness of the false deck. I then checked the gun ports and found that most were right on. Whew!
