DaveRow Posted August 3, 2016 #31 Posted August 3, 2016 Bizi, 11 months ! but all worth it I am sure. Took me a good 12 months to do the double planking over the frames alone, but I did not use filler blocks. Wish I had. Dave R Dave R Measure twice, cut once.

bizibilder Posted October 15, 2016 Author #32 Posted October 15, 2016 A little more progress - Glueing the underdecks into place. First a check with the masts shows them to be true and parallel - Then lots of rubber bands! having the hull blocked in really pays as you can do this quite easily. Hopefully I can start the first planking soon.

innkeeper Posted October 16, 2016 #33 Posted October 16, 2016 That looks great.11 months wow. Think I will follow your build. If i get stuck any where is it OK to Pm you and ask for some pointers. Have you glued/ are the decks glued on in the last photo? Whats the main wale you marked? sorry for the stupid questions but am new to this rob Current and my First Build H M Bark Endeavour.
bizibilder Posted October 16, 2016 Author #34 Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Decks are glued and the marks are (roughly) where the top of the first plank will be - these need to be checked and remarked before any glue is applied! Please PM if you need anything.

austristan Posted January 7, 2018 #35 Posted January 7, 2018 Looking way into the future, I hoping to tackle this model. I really like your attention to detail and making sure you're well set up for subsequent steps so hope you don't mind me joining along as you continue your progress.
