Hi Wayne. This is interesting build! First time i see frames attached to a false keel like that (well i`m a newbie to wooden models, probably that's why ). My wife will kill me if I will have an working space in living room, she hate dirt and especially dust and there is a lot of it when sanding . The crew is amazing think i will hire one on my next build . So i will set my place on the back and enjoy your build.

Hi Wayne. Of course you are welcome here . Like Sjors told me, I have a big living room so there is a plenty of place for everybody who want to look and help me with by build . Yes i had some problems with that curves especially its my first build. So have a seat and welcome .

So the main planks are done, only need to do some cosmetic parts now so the hull will be fully closed. Here are the fotos:

Uff looks like i wasnt here for a while . Time to get to work finally (I've been to lazy last time:)). @Sjors: Yes i will use a varnish after i sanded the closed hull . Now i`m almost finish with planking and will add pictures later. @Anja: Hi there . Welcome aboard . Hehehe you can seat next to Sjors and have a good look what im doing .

So lets get back to Corsair. First of all THANK YOU very much Sjors for your world and suport, it`s mean a lot from so experienced person . Now here are some photos of the further progress. I added second planking layer at bulwarks (almost) and also first to planks of nice dark hull layer. And of course the keel is in place.

So today i decided to buy some helping tools. This is what I choose . Dremel have a lot of nice option and good thing is, its easy to buy parts to it in Poland when i`m back from Netherlands, not like the "similar one" Proxxon is offering, parts to it are quite expensive and need to be specially imported :/. And my cat have a new house .

Well welcome David. Nice to meet you. I work also on Corsair and we are at the same construction level (come visit my log ). I can tell your ship looks awesome and i`m a bit jealous how your first layout of hull is looking after sanding . And the most incredible is your set of clamps . Didn't hear about this saying "if one is good, two is better" before but i I totally agree. I`m looking forward with your building and want to see some progress (leave the AC4:Black Flag and start modeling )

Well finally had some time to sit with the model . 2 weeks free from work is over so don't have so much time now . Well here are some photos. There still need to be sanded a bit in small corners etc.

Thanks a lot Sjors for tips. But don't know what do you mean by saying faired the bulkheads? You mean to shape them that planks touch it on whole surface not only the edges? If yes then i did. Sharp parts will be sanded of-course . It means extra work but will menage. This low plank is from both sides and its a main stroke. Heh with nails i have i bit problem now because i just finished first sanding (i used only the nails), fortunately i get rough-thick sandpaper so the nails are getting sanded together with wood . The filler is drying on the hull now and after that i`m going to sand it and as you say make it as smooth as possible. The pictures i will add later after the hull is ready for second layer of planks. Hope you can judge them and say if it`s ok Sjors .

Thanks Sjors for good words . So i have finally done planking bottom of the hull . That was a lot of work, took me 2 days (prox. 4h a day) stupid thing half of the work i did on dry planks instead sunk them for few hours to have easier work . I still need to plank bulwarks, sand the planks, use surface filler to cover gaps, sand it again, but for now thats how it looks now .

Hi Sjors. Much thanks for replay. Why the easiest solutions are always the most difficult to think about ? I did as you wrote and this is the effect: Besause the side of poop deck was touching bulwark only a bit i added something from my sefl: This will help keeping the deck on place (i think ) AND THE MOST IMPORTANT: HAPPY NEW YEAR for everybody. (Gelukkig Nieuwjaar voor jou Sjors en Anja).
-
So the bulwarks are set. Was a lot of trouble with them because i didn't bend them enough before fitting :/. I added stringers on the main deck: And now i need to place forecastle deck with i have a BIG problem and could get some advice: So as you can see it doesn't fit :/. Small difference i could cover with stringer but forecastle deck don't have it. Should i sanded the deck till it fit correctly?
-
Ok so the main deck is steady and i can continue with bulwarks. And in mean time i did poop deck as well.

So welcome to my build log(first one in my life ). I`m building Brig Corsair as my first model and due to producer, difficulty level is medium. I get it as a request for Christmas from my wife. Why this ship? I`m also addicted to PC games and i played recently Assassin`s Creed: Black Flag and i fall in love to pirates and the ships . That`s a short story behind why i decided to go for wooden models. So thats how looks my working place: As you can see skeleton and the top deck are already placed: Now i just need to wait till the glue can hold the top deck on place .
