each class of sub had its own set of curved blocks, however the old diesel boats had a flat bottom to enable sitting on the seabed, and i remember standard blocks with wooden props to keep her upright

from the photo she looks quite cleans so possibly flooding up, and caught by the gusting winds

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
-
just enjoy it BE, i dont work, i put in as much or as little time on the build as i want, plus playing Hogwarts Legacy on the PC
-
good evening everyone, thank you for comments and likes 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 20 1st planking the bow is 1st planked, - absolutely nothing special, but will serve as a good foundation for the 2nd layer, i look forward to many hours of sanding before that happens the stern will be completed in the next day or so
-
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
-
thank you. we look forward to seeing your build soon
-
everyone is welcome to follow my trials and tribulations of wooden ship building
-
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
