Hmm, so it seems that my bluenose got a little fat stern area... Nothing that can be fixed. First I checked the laser piece towards the plan, and found it accurate. Well, placing the piece on the ship and I saw she was wider than I thought, must be all the ice cream consumed while modeling When doing so having the main rail part on the stanchions, I can have it flush with the waist without any overhang, but this will give her a large lip instead. My solution and this was the easy way out instead of making a whole new piece. I made two cuts into the part, and then will create fill pieces. Once painted only I will know along with everybody else following this thread. This way there won't be a lip but also I will get the overhang I am looking for. Pictures are exaggerated.

Maury, As I read your last posting, and looked at the background..... the masts are surely plumbed. If you wouldn't had mentioned about the window, I would had said something about it. Looks nice.

Mike, Where I work we have a display for our company's small gifts, when I realized maybe I should look up the length of Confederacy. Total length of her is 35" the display we have is 40" and it's huge!' I have no idea where to put such a display. Fortunate she is not carrying full rigging!

Gary, very nice pictures. Something interesting I am seeing though in the last picture with the masts is the rake. I did experience the same thing as the distance where the mast are setting in the deck versus the top of the masts. Maybe it's an illusion in your picture and the distances are the same. But for me the distance are different, it's not much but it's noticeable.

I have to make sure I do a backup of pictures for build log, this as I use both regular camera but also the phones camera. Update from last night. The interior stern planking is completed. And I didn't break the posts. Remaining planking of transom/stern is now in progress (not for the moment this hour)

I have bought kits from Cornwall Models as well, without paying duties. Real good selection and fast service. One time I bought items from ModelExpo and Cornwall on the same day, guess which package I had faster.

Mike, I bought that saw from UMM-USA. Back to the stern construction. There are two post to be added at the stern, I saw how they are installed they would be prone to break off once installed. So I used this lateral plank for support. Having the notches cut out I dry installed one of the post just to get a verification this was getting somewhat right. Then it was just to add the glue and have them put in place. Once the glue had set in a little I corrected the angle of the post to left. I will use this setup and plank the inside first, doing so will create a sturdy area for exterior planking.

Peter, That is clean planking. Hope I can accomplish the same once I get there.

Mike, How about building your own pedestal? 860 dollars seems to be extremely steep for a case. Does it have gold inlay?
