Well done on completing this milestone, the planking looks good. On your second photo did you add a stealer at the bottom of the garboard plank?
When I was looking at the garboard plank requirements I thought it would be benifical to add one at the bow end.
Goog news with the vet visit
both sides are not symmetrical, so yes i did. its no big deal though, i a weeks time its going to get covered over again lol

good evening everyone
first of all thankyou for the comments wrt the the boi, he attended the vets today, and was put under, whilst they did xrays on his teeth and biopsies on his gums, on inspection they do not believe it to be anything nasty, but the results will be back in a week, no teeth were required to be removed,
build day day 22 1st planking completed
a bit messy in places but it went without any real issues, tomorrow is set aside and get some sanding done

looking good, you will over take me soon

Fingers crossed for a quick recovery for your boy, the hours surely do drag when they're at the Vets for a procedure.

good evening everyone,

day 21 1st planking port side complete
i needed to fair the parts 29 on the stern post, so i then continued with a rough grit sanding pad and gave the hull a once over, i was real happy with how it turned out, no where ready for the top coat though
i am about an hours work from completing the stbd side, will try and finish that tomorrow, but the boi is in for an operation at the vets, so i might be to stressy for that

good evening everyone
Day 18 1st planking
as soon as i left the make up of the hull, i have had to start thinking about things, and this has resulted in some redo's, lol no matter how much fairing you do, there is always more
anyway the hull is is about 50% done and although bit messy in places, i have a sound basis to work on
and yes i am still missing one part number 29 stern post filler, and the one fitted need working on

Are you using nails only when you need them? Also, did you leave all the char on and remove it once the keel and its parts were complete? I have the Sphinx on my table and am watching your build with great interest 😃
i use nails all the time and then remove them after the glue has set, the only char removed so far has been for fairing of the hull

Hello Kevin
I have just noticed, when looking at your build log, that you do not seem to have added the two stern filler parts 29 to either side of the keel under bulkhead 18, as per build steps 82 and 83.
Glenn-UK
they are in now, about an hour ago, thank you for keeping me in check

Good evening everyone
thank you for comments and likes
Day 14 port side Gun port templates fitted
well i never expected to be at this stage after 2 weeks, but here i am, and loving it, and i have not had any issues to criticize the build, or instructions,
after the hull fairing i test fitted the gun port templets, no other sanding was required
the bottom of fwd template forms where the first run of planking under it goes, so a pencil line is drawn, the rest of the plank aligns along the top of the port sill , at this point the template can be removed
first plank
2nd plank
the after template fits on the top of the 1st plank and lined up with the top right corner of the last gunport, instructions need to be read to be aware of where the glue is applied, as a section of the framework has to be removed at a later date
a templete fits between and the area over the ports is covered, using limewood
rough opening of the gun ports when the glue has dried
