thank you James, much appreciated
-
the pattern was a great help, for the placement of the butts, i never tapered the planks, so it did run off, im happy with the result however

good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 10 lower deck planking complete let the sanding begin
-
Good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 9 lower deck planking the weather outside has restricted me taking her out to start sanding the outer hull, so using the boxwood i have started the lower gundeck, sorry the photos are not brilliant, very little of this will ever bee seen, all the slots down the port and stbd side are for the cannons, i made the decision to cover these for now and either find them later on, or find an alternative method for fixing them just loving this build

looking good Glenn

id perfer to be the Lewis, but im not in a race lol, however this does go together so very well, it will of course slow down soon, with planking

good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes, very much appreciated the inner bulkhead liners are now fitted, there are another two, to fill a blank space, if i get the chance i will put them on tonight, otherwise they will remain off until completion of sanding the outer hull 8 temporary beams are inserted to ensure the everything stays in place whilst sand in the hull, i think they are discarded at a later date today was also spent putting on 4 profiles that accurately space the upper deck beams, another clever idea, apart from skimming the tops of the inner bulkhead liners to stop any fouling, this never caused any concerns at all prior to gluing the profiles in place i removed the beams to check the alignment once this has dried the beams will be removed to safe place and put on again later on after deck planking

good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 5 and 6 the main deck went down without any issues next is the 8 in number inner bulkhead pieces, the frames needed a bit of sanding to allow them to sit flush against the max amount of wood, again there was no issues with this and i did not need to soak them, an overnight under clamps and they are sitting quite nice, i dont believe much of these will be seen later on, hope to finish them tomorrow, lots of test fitting
