I am so saddened reading your message on Friday. My prayers and thoughts are with you Mark and your family. You are an exceptionally skilled builder and I have read your posts with great admiration ever since I started looking at MSW. Do take care.

Hi, and thanks for visiting and, the likes.
Planking finished with no real problems.
Next is sanding down and, the rubbing strakes.
Have decided to fit a cover and paint the outside.
Regards,
Sam.

Started on the ships barge.
Good quality ply sheets provided.
Instructions say -- glue false keel and frames to baseboard provided.
Then sand frames and fit planks starting from the false keel.
It then suggests you fit the first plank following the marks on the frames
closest to the base. I went for the common sense approach.
The marks for this plank are slightly hit and miss. A5 is 2mm out this side, correct other side.
Then the keel will be fitted
Then fix up and down ending in the middle with a plank sharpened at both ends.
Once the garboard strake is fitted I will remove the structure from the base board,
trim the tops of the frames down to the top plank and fit the covering board.
After planking will be fixed the rubbing strakes and the thole pins.
Not bothering with the insides, I intend fitting a canvas cover to keep the
rain and seagulls out. Might paint the outside white.
Regards,
Sam.

Hi, and thanks for the likes.
Channels fitted. The plywood brackets came away from the sheet very cleanly
and needed no prep work apart from removing the laser char.
Next would be the lower deadeyes but still mulling over what to do with the chains.
Might replace with real chain as Mark's postings.
In the mean time having a go at the ship's boat. This should be interesting.
Regards,
Sam.

Hello friends - I am saddened to say this build is being terminated. I have got a terminal illness & don`t have the will or energy to continue. Not sure how much time I have left, so I will look in at your projects from time to time.

I just found your build log and was admiring your work when I came upon the post about your health. I just want to say that, along with other members of the MSW family here, I am saddened by your health news and hope you will find strength and comfort in the days ahead. There are a lot of prayers and caring thoughts being sent your way from this fellowship of ship modelers from all over the world...

Hi all - moving along at a snail`s pace, the upper gunport lids were glued in place & the ropes added. Then, I thought it would be a good time to fit the channels. After double checking the plans, I discovered that I glued the moulding above the upper gun deck ports too low & there wasn`t room to mount them below the moulding as the plans showed . So, after assembling one chainplate,I saw I could mount the channels above the moulding & still be ok. the channels are not glued on yet & I haven`t got to the starboard side yet. I still have to blacken the channel brackets & some other brass parts before I glue the channels on. Still trying to figure out how I got that moulding so far off.
