This next series will show the doors, windows, winch , belfry and hatches attached.

Ok... I'm back with some more pictures.... the first few show the painted hull and some minor changes that were made, following pictures show deck installation ,then with a black wash applied..I'll try to give a breif description of the sequence of pictures as we get it all back togrther again........ so be patient!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for looking in. I forgot how nice and clean it looked!!!    The biggest problem with this reposting ,is trying to get the proper sequence  in play. I've got pictures all over the place !! I better get busy

The planking begins!!!!  After I finished the first planking I decided not to do the second planking since I was going to weather and paint the hull.

This next batch shows  the placing of the battens to ready for the first planking.

I"ll try to get everything posted as best as I can. There's a lot of ground to cover, so it might take awhile  to catch up where I'm at right  now.

I know everyone is going thru the same process , patience will be the guide!!!! So, we'll start at the very begining. For those of you that are new to this forum I hope this will be of some help, if not, at least entertaining!

The first group consists of the basic hull construction and the placing of the deck. Extra supports were added on frame 3 and 8 to help support the deck .

Looking forward to your new updates.
