Rattlesnake by selittle - Model Shipways - 1:64

[selittle]

I started this build four or five years ago. We moved across country and haven't lived in a place I could set up shop until recently so am now outfitting a new shop while I restart this project. Many pieces on the bulkheads broke in the move so I basically started by glueing all those back together. I also just added the aft filler blocks and am roughing them in.

Started working on the forecastle.  Adding covering boards and railings.

Also added timber and knights heads

and started shaping stern filler blocks.

Am going to start planking the deck under the forecastle next before I lose access.  All seems to be going well but I am finding the instruction booklet to be mostly useless.  For instance, there is no mention of the size of deck planks so one has to measure based on the plans, which is fine, unless you're a complete noob and have no idea what you're doing!

Nice looking start. I'm working on my first model the Emma C Berry now and am shopping around for my next project. From one noob to another, I look forward to seeing your progress.
