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?

A pictorial update. This block is just balsa to show how I started out. The final part was made out of boxwood. After I had somewhat the right size of the boxwood block the Dremel came into use. There are a lot of angles to consider. I made one block and then made a mirrored part. Then dry placing the part at the end of the quarter deck, to figure out how much to cut off. This part in the middle is the right one to install. Here are the port and starboard part testing the area. Some more trimming and then it will be time to add the waist parts. Below is all my trial parts.
