Great work, very nice.

[tomsun]

Thank you

[tomsun]

The clinker build bulwarks are in place, and the build up on the stern have begun

[tomsun]

The lower part of the foremast and mainmast is finished and put in place temporarily, the bowsprit is also finished but not mounted

 

[tomsun]

The carved peace that go on top of the counter timber called slingerplank is to be mounted, I have made a mistake when I planked the counter earlier I should have waited until now to do that, but no greater harm is done I fix that later, the two carved pieces that vas mounted in wing transom is removed and new will be done

[tomsun]

The quarter galleries are been built up and the floor in the quarter galleries is laid, and the frames is in place

[tomsun]

I extend the planking on the counter so it match to the slingerplank

Just came across your build log,Tomsun. You've done a really nice job so far. Too bad that lovely framing work will be hidden!

[tomsun]

Hi druxey thank you, it was my intention from the beginning to build as close to the original with all deck  except the trossdeck, and I take photos before I put the next deck in , for me it is the joy of building that counts, it's very relaxing, I've been doing this ship for nearly 17 years with a break for 12 years

[YankeeD]

Very nicely build!! I will be following this with interest.
