Thanks a lot Greg and Popeye,time for some spinach.

Thanks Dave,i think all of the kits and replica are different.I put my wales on before the second planking.

Hi Frank I found those planking screws really hard on the fingers,now I just use drawing pins as long as the planks are dry,much easier.

Thanks Popeye hope it keeps going o.k.Thanks Frank the natural planking is just limewood with a light yellow stain and sapelli below the wale similar to mahogany with dull cote brushed on.I like the sapelli looks nice.

Great job Dave are you sure it's your first wooden ship?.Everyone's Endeavour will be differant whether you follow the books or replica and all the kits as well.I just do what i think looks o.k.Nice work.

And the girls.

Windless

That's a great solution to a hard part,nice job.

Thanks Greg.

Thanks Alistair,just had a week off so got something done after food poisoning.Thanks Greg this is the second time I've had the anchor rope holes through the stem nowhere near lining up from inside the hull to outside.Where would you drill the holes to go into the hold? Thanks Slog and Doug it looks better from a distance just looking at colours from other builds and the replica.

Companionways,bits,done falconet supports next.

Thanks a lot Frank.

Beautifull ship Denis it's been great following you.The rigging looks very complex.I can't wait to see you start the Royal William.

I love the cabin Augie,the deck planking looks good in your test piece.

Thanks very much for your great comments chaps,they mean a lot and encourage me when things get difficult.

Top rails on time for paint.Samson posts took some glueing,if someone sneezed they fell off.Well and truly into the deck work now my favourite part.

Samson posts,rail posts side one done.

Same here maybe they are long lost sisters.

Thanks Slog and Augie,Does'nt take much for you to smile Augie, i'll try and do updates more often then.I get a smile when the wife has a day off from being grumpy.

Thanks a lot Pat,slowly,slowly.

Rudder done and start of Samson post production line,only 34 to do.

Popeye nice job on planking the plastic boats they came out real good.Great details on your half moon you are the wizard for this.

Thanks a lot Frank and Popeye.Get around to the rudder one of these days.

Thanks very much for your comments Alistair,Denis and Augie.Not getting much time on it these days but there's no hurry.

Transom done rudder next.
