Stuntflyer got a reaction from Archi in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Stuntflyer (Mike) - FINISHED - 1:48 scale
With those last two planks installed, I could see where I over sanded a few of the bulkheads in the fairing process. I found five areas that needed a 1/64± shim. I ripped them from some laser cut soft ply I had lying around. Once glued, I sanded them to the proper curve.

I've completed the starboard side topside planking. Same as the port side, but it went a little faster (the old learning curve ). Now it's on to the stern planking.

Maury, Jason, thanks!
Ian - I actually did read the instructions. I was just over thinking the process.
Bob - Ha ha! we'll see who ends up being the follower.

After applying seven coats of black onto the wales, possibly more still needed, I'm finally ready to move onto the next chapter. The first two belts of planking below the wales are completed. My tendency to complicate things got in the way of my progress. I first tried making the drop planks from 1/4" stock only to find out that it was not wide enough. In the end I just followed the instructions. I made them from a small piece of 1/16" sheet reduced to 3/64" using the thickness sander. That worked out just fine.

She's truly a thing of beauty Augie! A very nice contrast indeed!

I wasn't going to post this photo of the QD main rail but it keeps 'calling' me.
Note the simulated sheaves in the lower stanchions. The lower rail is doubled to produce a nice beaded effect whereas the upper is a single so as not to make it too massive. I left it in natural finish (rather than the suggested black) as I'm going with black for all the belaying pins and, against the swiss pear deck, we see a nice contrast.
Onward to the long forgotten bow!

Very well done Erik. Came out a lot better than mine. I have to second what Danny said above.

That's excellent planking for a seasoned model builder, let alone a novice Erik. Well done indeed .

Thanks so much Mike, Christian, Mobbsie and the "likes". Mike, I was thinking just the opposite -- I'd like you to stay ahead of me so that I can learn from you.
