Thanks for the likes and comments guys. Moving onto the transom tonight, have a few corrections to make back there before I can proceed, should smooth afterwards. JJ -
The stbd side was indeed a struggle, I won’t get into it too much but there was a lot of printing going on and some additional scraping and possibly some vocabulary, but it all worked out. Starting the transom this week and hoping to finish up chapter three within a couple weeks. JJ

And just like that, out of nowhere it just shows up. Works for me!

Sent an email Thursday, just waiting for a reply of some sort. I guess I’m ok with the two month plan, I’ll probably stay productive that way.

I ordered mine on the 5th and still nothing☹️

Yes, sand right To where they intersect. Otherwise the outer shell Won’t fit right.

It took me forever to get through the gunports, it’s worth it though. Go slow and just redo anything you don’t like. JJ

I can’t remember which covers get painted, the inside or the outside but check before you replace any. JJ

Thanks Chuck, I probably will wait longer then. Seems there’s always some kind of sanding going on nearby the model. She’s going to get a case right away.

Thanks Matt. no actually they are not installed on the q-galleys yet but I plan to do it very soon. The roof tops are also still loose. I won’t glue those on or the windows probably until I finish fairing the insides, that way I can clean the q-galleys out prior to sealing up. JJ

Thanks for the Likes and comments guys! Hoping to get started on the stbd side tonight, I always Find the second side harder to do as you have to replicate everything as close as possible so a lot more measuring/worrying/double checking goes on. JJ

So I pretty much finished up the port side tonight aside from a few minor details. Scraped and fit the lower moldings and Added some WOP, that stuff really brings out a pretty color on the boxwood that looks great with the cedar. I’ve had constant anxiety for the last week thinking about how to get these mouldings on perfectly parallel and keeping with the sheer line and it just dawned on me about two hours ago to just clamp on a plank that perfectly follows the middle moulding and simply glue on from there. Seemed to work pretty well. Hope someone else can find it useful when they arrive at this stage. JJ

That looks very good, I like the darker red color. JJ

Good to know as I just ordered a book from them. Card charged so I’ll just hurry up and wait now.

That’s looking good, I would sand as that will be tapered in flush with the rest of the planking later on. It will give you a better landing for your next layer. Definitely start practicing edge bending (if you’re not already) as Chuck describes, as the planks will only get harder to lay as you go further down. JJ

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

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
