Last night I completed the port side main wale. I also began removing the frame jigs in order to fiar up the inside, especially the bow area so the beak head beam can be permanently installed and the remaining channel wale plank can be installed. I will be removing the stern frame jig soon and that requires a few steps in order to carefully extract it. Will be going over that soon you’ll notice a slight notch was made in the hawse piece to slide the beam by. with the jigs removed and the planking completed (aside from the last channel wale planks), the hull is quite ridged now and will hold its shape without worry.

Thank you hmcarlin. I’m very close to having all the ch1 bugs worked out and will be going into producing kits shortly. Thank you VolkerB. Stay tuned. Thank you Glenn. Very much looking forward to adding the carvings and making moldings… all the fun post planking stuff. Haha

Great job on your planking! It’s a ton of work but worth it.

Thank you Kenny. Looking forward to finally getting back to work! Thank you Christian. Hi Matthias, I started developing them and then quickly realized that I was far from proficient in the software and I was far better off enlisting Jack @Jack H for the job. Jack also produced the carvings for Winnie so I knew I was making a good decision there. Thank you Mike. Thank you Greg, hoping to produce a few test pieces with them soon., I’ll post results. You and me both, Ben. I will have all the planking completed this rotation home.

Back at it today with Portland, right off the plane and into the garage! I finished the port side hull planking, got it all blocked out and coated with WOP, now I can move onto the black strake and then the wales. Also some goodies shows up, the remaining carvings for the model. These are the first production run in boxwood and look pretty good. With each set of boxwood carvings you order, a set of stainless scrapers are included. These moulding profiles are taken from the drawings or Portland and the contemporary example of Bristol. The instructions will have a key that shows where each profile belongs on the model. I couldn’t help myself and had to take a test run on a few of the rejects. These are just taped on and fitting pretty rough but you get a good idea of how it will look. There’s still a long way to go on the quarter galleys and the stern of the model. Before the rest of the carvings can be attached. JJ
