Thanks so much guys for the comments and the "likes".

 

Chuck, I feel stupid and careless, but it's on pretty good with CA and probably not worth the risk of trying to get it off.

I was fortunate enough to get part four parts from the first batch. They arrived three days after ordering, on my birthday (81, for anyone interested). A nice birthday gift to myself. I was eager to go and have done the following so far: the sub-deck planking; the beams and carlings; the false deck; and the first layer of the bulwark planking. I also made up the two coamings that go over the sub-deck openings, just to see how they looked.

 

Although my installation of the false deck doesn't look particularly neat, all of the laser etched lines and the center line match up perfectly, and there should be no problems later on. I've also tested the deck clamps for the future fit of the deck beams and they should be right on. Now, it's on to the cabin paneling, the   second layer of bulwark planking and the bulwark painting.

I've been continuing with the part four work. First, I did the cabin paneling, using the laser cut parts. This required some fiddling, but I believe turned out okay. Then, I added the second layer of planking above and below the ports. Lastly, I painted the bulwarks red, using Modelmaster Insignia Red acrylic. On reflection, I wish that I had changed the sequence and done all of the planking and painting before the cabin paneling. I found the masking for the painting to be unexpectedly difficult.

 

I did one other item: I completed and mounted the quarter gallery roofs.

 

Next, I will do the margin planks and the inner counter planking.

Thanks so much Rusty, OC and the "likes". I appreciate the generous thoughts, but more and more my struggles with Winnie make me feel that my best modeling is behind me.

I have now added the inner counter planking, using the laser cut pieces, I then made up the margin planks, using the templates and cutting in the scarph joints. After mounting the margin planks, I made up and mounted the waterways, using square strip wood sanded to a quarter round shape. Lastly, sanded the checkerboard floor to size and shape and glued it in place.

 

Next, I will do the coamings and gratings and the other deck parts.
