Sjors where are you? -
personally i would use white PVA and pin it in place, and as mark said the planking would cover the hole

Good evening everyone slowly the front end is looking like a, well, a front end, a very light weathering so far, not sure how far i will take that, railings and anchor capstan are secured, as well as the ladder, next the bollards, cleats, anchor and associated gear, and securing points for the stays will be hopefully in place by tomorrow night some of the remaing bits to be identified, cleaned up and a home on the build found for them

actually they were one of the easiest bits of the build, the ladder handrails ( not fitted yet) took far longer

Good morning everyone Waleback fitting out getting the pointy end over the finishing line, the railings are still to be trimmed to size, nothing is fitted yet, i may use this area as a dumping fround when in the diorama setting, boxes, bikes, ropes, lol my mind runs riot with ideas, actually doing it is a different thing altogether my next build will be the Talisman Paddle steamer in cutaway, having failed to do it on here as promised

good evening everyone from the previous photo's you can see a wedge under the mast , this was not required this angle was to much so today i sorted it out, what happened was, i required a shim to fit the main mast, as per the instructions, and did the same for the foremast, not thinking that the deck was already providing the required angle, wedge removed, two part epoxy and pins made it more hard work than was needed, im happier now its now fixed back in place another fix sorted

no its not the correct rake, i have just been doen stairs and put it on the display shelf, and it is raked to far back, i thought it was about rightin comparison with photo and the after mast, which is about right, the angle i took is not correct, so tomorrow i will remove some of the chim and make it look better, the rake to be set is not in the instructions here is what it should be like NOT MY PHOTO

good evening everyone i see the light at the end of the tunnel, its getting brighter, and no its not a train in the opposite direction having spent ages messing around i decided to ensure the mast lights still worked, and they did, how ever, i am unsure of the lens colours to use, as i believe they were changeable, i have also get to sort out the night photos properly to show them off better the ladder to the wale-back is now in place as are the braces to support the fwd gallows ,

love the weathered look on her, well done

Good evening everyone lots i dont understand about this build, there is so much more that could have been put down in the instructions, the forward gallows need to set so that the centre is above the middle of the rubbing bars, but they are not in the same position both sides so i have put them in place identical both sides, so yet another compromise, same goes for the position of the fish pond stations, they had to be re positioned tonight annoying as i had them all ready to be fitted oh hum, other than that loving this build, tomorrow i want to sort the ladder to the wale deck and get the mast fitted

good evening everyone CUT AWAY ABANDONED Been away a couple of days, and LOL not because i was sulking, but been planning more on how to display this monster when completed these were the photos that convinced myself that at this stage the cutaway was not going to work, the boiler is scaled down by about 10 to 15% and the damage required to fit is not worth the trouble. therefore i have finally abandoned the idea, the diorama gets the proper go ahead
