Now that's going to look good. Are you working from detailed plans of the engine or from old photos?

Nice to see another non-string model on the site - I'll be following with interest.
Was it usual for tugs in your part of the world to have left handed propellers?

Just catching up with what you're doing, Russ. She's looking good, mate!

It's great to see these details that are really making her come allive, Popeye!

It's good to see that you're putting this log back up, David!

Nico, she just looks more beautiful with each set of photos!

Mobbsie,
yes, I see a slight dip there, and there really shouldn't be. Do you want to try evening it out with filler before you get on to the second planking, or does it just look worse in the photos, as is often the case!

Bruce,
Whatever else you do with regard to rigging sequence, leave the braces until last. As they run outside everything else they'll really get in the way.

Bruce,
I've found that leaving the ratlines until later doesn't restrict access in practice as I find I reach most of my belaying points from the opposite side anyway.

Just catching up with what you're doing - beautiful; absolutely beautiful!

Beautifully done, Michael!

Hello Robert, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'.
That's a very nice looking hull you have there. I'm looking forward to seeing your future updates.

Yeah, Tom, the photo looks likes it's made like a simple garden bench. I think you're on the right track.

John,
I haven't followed his technique, but it's in the back of my mind for a future model.

I was reading that Donald McNally actually planked the decks of all his ships with actual strips of planking. ...... I'm thinking about it.
Well, why not, Michael - you've gone this far!
John

Oh, was it you Mario? I thought it was rather fun!

Quick to make; simple; it works. What more could you ask of a jig, Russ?
