Derek, you are absolutely right, those inserts has to be a little wider since they are not cut at 90 degrees. Brian, the inserts between the bulkheads are to be shaped according to the hull line. See my previous picture. -
Mike, if the case is to big for the mantle, then what is plan B? And what will you do instead?

William As we say in here at MSW, this is no race...... three years are nothing. And a big welcome to you!

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.

Derek, with the aftermath I would have installed the waterway planks first before planking the hull. But yes, I had to do some pre-bending of the full length waterways as I used boxwood. If I would had used the provided basswood this wouldn't be necessary.
-
After installing the waist planks I had to adjust some of the stanchions, as I didn't a clean glue contact. It's kind of obvious in this picture.

The way I cut out the bulkhead tops was using my microsaw, cutting the tops into three pieces and from there using a cutting plier to remove the pieces. This way I got a somewhat clean cut.
-
Peter, That is clean planking. Hope I can accomplish the same once I get there.

Brian, the waterways is part of the deck planking, see the picture
-
Look at the plans, there are two pieces for that bulkhead. One of the is supporting the planks on the foredeck. I made both of them.

Brian, Click on the link for download of the practicum, this one is based of pof and totally scratch building. But it does go into depth when it comes to explanation of building.
-
That's a real finicky job you are doing there.....
-
Derek, Many thanks for that info, somehow my PC didn't show the listed items from the beginning, saw it first time today. Sorry for that. Scratch building?
-
Derek, Would you please specify type of wood, how many sheets of each and final price tag....... It's okay if you don't want to share the price but I think we are several that like to know.
-
Mike, How about building your own pedestal? 860 dollars seems to be extremely steep for a case. Does it have gold inlay?

Mike, I don't know if I would had cleaned the sails. I like the aging and dirt on them. Looks like she has been sailing for some time.
-
Looking very good.
-
I have used Titebond II, and it worked for me. Even had a hard time to remove some for adjustment.
-
Brian, The waterway plank needed to be beveled is the third plank in on the fore-deck. Look at sheet 2.
-
Waist planking has been done on the starboard side. Extra stanchions will be added for the ones I cut out.
-
Maury, that looks so good. Thanks for the info of the magnesia block.
