Thanks a lot Graham, I agree on the bow and stern.

Start of the Lantern brackets. I thought the 0.7 wire was a bit flimsy but the choice of bigger wire was forced on me anyway by breaking off the 0.7 drill bit right in the centre of the lantern base. I had to use the 1.5 wire as the 1mm has gone walking. Trying to get the trophy of arms looking reasonable. One of the Lance heads broke off but the sheet under my work bench caught it.

Thanks for the likes folks. Thanks a lot Dave, as good as I can do it but always something I could have done better. I was just getting better at the cannons when I got to the last one.

All you want out of the first planking with filler, sanding etc is a base for the second planking then that's a base for the coppering. You just want the general shape for a start. Main parts I would check would be castings and photo etch parts. Like you say any wood should be o.k to find locally.

Off to a great start Chris. Make sure everything is square and even side to side. I found out too late the right hand side deck height is about 3mm higher than the port side. Read the instructions until you understand them properly before you do the next task. Check all of your parts are there and complete. Some of my castings were missing also important parts were broken. Put a sheet under your workbench to catch the fallen parts. Good luck.

Hope there is a cannon sticking out of the wall somewhere. Nice job.

Thanks mine is o.k. from a distance. There are real amazing builders on this site. If it wasn't for them I would have lost with the instructions.

Sounds good, I found the same with my Endeavour. So many variations and repairs made changed things depending on what materials the crew could find at the time.

Thanks a lot Graham, your encouragement keeps me going when it gets hard. I liked your idea of the green around the flowers.
