Little progress update, been chugging away slowly at the Q-galleys. Going back and forth between P&S sides. Got all the windows for the q-galleys fitted but not permanent yet. Fitted the drops on both sides and those turned out well, needed a little sanding. Got the port side q-galley Roof tiles finished Today and started working on the moulding and frizzie placement. Still working on the moulding profile that I like for the middle moulding, definitely sacrificed a few pieces of boxwood strips in the process but I’ll get there. Happy so far with the results. JJ

Thank you, it’s the first time I planked a hull like this. Chucks guide to planking is wonderful. as you see the hull there she only has WOP but I’m currently adding just a bit of color to give a little warmer color. JJ

I like the Byrnes saw/basket ball analogy. I also took the plunge and bought one and I am building my ship model on a boat, in the engine room. Very compact and easy to move/store. Well worth the money. You can see how small the saw is relative to the model in the second photo. All my planks are ripped from pre milled billets from Syren, affordable and exceptional quality wood when finished. JJ

What kind of wood did you plank your hull with? It looks fantastic! JJ

Hi Fred, she’s coming along nicely, looks really crisp and clean. However I have to say thanks, I’m reading this as I’m having my morning coffee and down stairs I run in a panic to check my transom fillers! Little late in the game but got me wondering. Lol Honestly I’m not quite sure how to post a photo and type underneath it... I just tried what I thought would work and no go. JJ

Thanks Rusty. She’s slowly coming along. JJ

Thank you for the comments And advice guys, I’ve gotten underway and so far it’s looking ok. Everything is measuring out pretty even so that’s good. JJ

Thank you for the input Guillermo, it’s always nice to have another set of eyes on something. I’m going to measure and double check a few more times and begin proceeding. JJ

So I got my q galley templates mocked up tonight and boy what a nail biter. I found that my stbd template held a nice shape where my port one is a little warped, both are in nearly identical positions down to .001”!!! yet the port one really throws the eye off due to the warp. I’m going to sleep on this one and possibly print the port template out again tomorrow, if anyone that’s been here sees anything jump out please let me know! JJ

Thanks Rusty, as with all vacations it was much too short and I need another one ASAP! So I’m back on the wagon and onto chapter 3, I got the transom placed, the upper counter planked, sanded and a Dry test run on all the windows. So far so good, very happy with the results so far. Hope to get the framing started in the next couple days. The windows required very minor adjustments to fall in line and will require very little manipulation when it comes time to glue them in place. JJ

Very nice Chuck. Can’t wait to see more.

Thank you Bob, I’m really enjoying this build. JJ

She’s looking good Fred, so much learned on chapters 1-2. What are you going to do with W1? JJ
-
Thanks Fred, I actually couldn’t resist in a few places and it caused me some trouble, namely the stern post area, I got them too thin in some areas and I had to actually separate them from the former and space them out a pinch to prevent them from hiding too far behind the stern post. I found the temptation came from the uncertainly of how the planks would look and if they required replacing it would be much easier to do without planks surrounding it. just about wrapped up and ready to start chapter three, but it’s vacation time now! I feel good about my stopping point. JJ

Thank you Chuck and Mike I’m happy with how she turned out but I also learned a lot this first go around and will do a few things Differently the next time. Definitely going to take the next step and line off the hull next time. Got her flipped over today and built a stand using the ply from the bulkheads. Did some clean up on the top sides, fitted the figure head and added some poly to the top sides. Wrapping up the loose ends from chapters one and two and looking forward to starting chapter three very much. JJ
