chris watton reacted to Glenn-UK in HMS Grecian 1812 by Glenn-UK - Vanguard Models - 1:64
It did not take too much effort to sand the hull smooth. I did a few trial fits of the second planking as I went along to make sure I was happy, especially with the termination of the planks with the stern post and stern counter.
Once that was done the keel outer patterns, stern post and outer stern counter pattern were glued in place, as can be seen below.
Next task was to add the ready to the second planking. With the planks laid out I did colour match as there is quite a bit a variation between the kit supplied planks. It not really an issue as the hull will be painted and copper plated.
The first two rows of planking have now been fitted to each side.
Close up of the bow area.
And now a close up of the right hand side stern area. I will need to add a small filler piece as indicated by the arrow.
And now a close up of the left hand side stern area, noting the small filler piece has been fitted.

Igor's very first job for me was the Surprise lower drop, the rest of Surprise 3-d printed parts was done by another company (figureheads and the Aubrey/Maturin music scene) and a nice fellow from Canada (Lantern, boats, done previously, and stove), and a few things I did myself (like the new pump bodies, rudder fittings and carronade wheels)
Igor's first big job for me will be the figurehead, decoration and a few other aspects for the new development of HMS Agamamnon. I suspect this will not be his last job for me..
Today I ordered and paid for the production photo etched brass sheets for Surprise, which are being done in Italy and will be ready well before kit release. In fact, all of the Surprise PE copper sheets will be with me this week (ordered those extra early in case there was any issues with supply).

The deck is fitted out first as deck beams need to be fitted over this area, followed by the jigs (again) which will maintain the widths/shapes as the hull is then planked and the exterior bulwarks added. You can always mask off the deck area while you work on the exterior.
