That looks great Kevin,
Still another question.
Do you want to finish her by Christmas??😃
Sjors
Christmas is not out of the window, but im not racing to complete her by then, i have a few builds that need to be completed, and i have ambitions to do a two decker in the future,

I can see the issue Kevin, are you fitting the mouldings in individual pieces or long strips? The aftermost piece looks out of kilter which would throw the line off.
It needs a graceful curve to meet the Qtr gallery;
I would remove the last piece and run a length across the ports, and fit it as it conforms to the sheer line, without paying too much attention to the manual photos.
From the bow to the midships it looks just fine.

originally as one piece, but as the after section has been removed a few time the piece you are referring to has also been taken off and yes it looks wrong

day141-4
have spent the last few days trying to get the side rails to look right, although they are nearly there, they are far from brilliant, the pain for me, is getting the last section over the after three ports where it ccrosses the banding, ten attempts so far without joy, the yellow has to be redone as the banding has moved slightly,
all in all, im loving this, build, any fault there are are due to my stooooooopidity

Always a good result when the Qtr galleries line up with the stern gallery, well done Kevin.👍
Fills me with dread whenever I approach that area of work, it's such an important feature of the hull.
B.E.
thank you, it lines up, but looks so very messy

Beautiful job.
Question from Anja, how do you get those tiles so shining.
You clean them?
Sjors
the tiles were not treated in any way, straight off the roll, but with a week interval, one side is more tarnished than the other, i have now listened to @James H and have now rubbed with fine wire wool, and coated with a water based varnish, the shineyness has gone
