Your deck fixtures are coming along well. Scale is important, but how it looks is the final measuring stick. Good work.

I've installed the stove pipe and guard rods. the guard is a little higher than what is shown in the plans, I don't think that really matters to much as long as is looks OK.

Hi Mike,
I have this kit waiting for me, exciting to see someone experienced start the build!
I'll have my chair pulled up! Following along.
Cheers

I've decided to put the Phantom down for awhile the final deciding factor was that during my move I some how lost the wire that was supplied with the kit.So while I'm trying to find some wire to replace the original I'm going to start this kit. this will be my first attempt at planking, this seems like a good beginners kit. I've also purchased the 18th Century Long Boat and the English Pinnace for future builds. I think I'll stick to building boats for awhile and learn how to plank on them before I take on a model ship.

I finally got all the planking done. It was quite a learning experience for the first time doing it.

I've got to this point But this is where it gets a little tricky . I tried tapering the ends of the plank but still finding it difficult to get the center to bend to the form. I'm going to try soaking the planks and pinning each one to the form. hopefully it will take the shape and dry that way.

Looking good Mike. I am doing the same thing- don't like how some of the kit parts look or even how it tells me to build it. In the process of making my own. It does make you feel good when you can make something better!
