Thanks Glenn. I've touched up the sills a couple of times already. The paint really shows up any imperfections.

Hi all, I've been plugging away a bit at a time on chapter 4. After fitting the laser cut and etched false deck I added the first layer of bulwark planking. The fore deck clamp needs to be bent and with the cutouts for the deck beams can make it fragile. I carefully bent it around the outside of the hull and then heated it with a hairdryer and let it cool. After all of the first layer of planks and deck clamps were in place I confirmed that the Captain's cabin paneling was starting in the correct location I marked the fore edge and then added the second layer of spirketting. I have painted the bulwarks but still have a few more coats to go. Once I've finished painting I'll add the Captain's cabins paneling.

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?
