Today I completed the exterior lining of the bulwarks and what I think we used to call the counter; that is to say, the view shown in this photo of the aft end, specifically the curved, raked back part.
I am sorry to have to report that there are discrepancies in my kit from OcCre. The dowels received are 4 pcs 0f 3.8mm dia. (5/32") and 2pcs of 4.8mm (3/16"). So I am OK for spars, but there should have been 2 pieces of quarter inch for the masts. No problem, because I have some ¼" in stock, and of course there's lots of that at the hardware store anyway.
I received far more than I needed of the 2x5x400mm (sycamore I think), which is used for the first "underplanking" of the hull, (as shown in the lower hull here). I have a bundle of 15 pieces of that left over, enough to plank another half a hull. Strange.
