im going to let it do its own thing for now, and see what its like later on in the build, it is tarnishing much quicker than plates do -

im grateful for anyone to watch my shoddy building, i will certainly look at yr fly log
-
good evening everyone Day 122-3 still coppering im sure most of you would have completed both sides by now, i have lots going on, in RL but daily progress is being made
-
well one side is
-
yes something like that, i think im starting to learn that detail like rivet heads is wasted on this scale vessel i have yet to see any that are realistic, unless done by scratch, IMHO
-
good afternoon everyone thank you for comments and likes day 119-3 each row, to cut and place into position is taking me about 45 to 60 mins, but i have other non boat building jobs on the go presently like gardening
-
im cutting individual 18mm plates, i tried cheating with longer ones, but i dint work for me
-
good evening everyone day 118-3 thank you for the comments and likes the copper application is going ok, i wasnt impressed at the start, but then again, i wasnt going to copper at all, until i made the sanding error, oh hum any way the jig im using to cut the tiles is version 3 and for me works ok, having the old metal blade at the base, stops the tape being pushed into the cut, so each one is fairly clean i think i will have about 15 full rows to place, and the any infills at the water line
-
very neat and tidy
-
it certainly helps to have an extra pair of hands on the first keel row, after that photo she retired from the coppering and gone to do knitting
-
good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 113-2 upper deck work is nearly complete, so its time to move to coppering, i used two strips of 6mm on the keel, with allowed me to turn it over, so hopefully avoid any gaps mrs kevin is allowed to help no cheeks on the port side, no its not a mod, they fell off
-
health is far more important, she will still be there when you feel you can progress her
-
good evening everyone day 112-2 in the past week the progress on indy slowed down a bit, but the big garden work is coming to an end, just two ton of gravel to move (well 1800 KG) the planking is nearly complete, still more tidying, sanding filling and varnish required, but it looks quite tidy now, the poop and some of the gratings were placed for the photo
