Moving on to the ships boat... this is abit tricky but I think I am through the worst part... first couple of planks. Now it is stable and just keep adding pieces to it!

 

I feel with you Vane, as I'm building a boat for my Duchess of Kingston at the moment. It's a tedious affair for a novice like me and the first planks were not the most difficult.
I feared the step of removing the frames, but it worked out good, without destroying the hull. I used PVA for the planks in places, where the frames will be removed and CA on the other parts of the planks.

 

Cheers Rob

Thanks for the advice, I managed to do the hard part without breaking it. The worst was to get rid of all CA glue. I decided to deviate from the instructions and add the top rail before removing the frames to get a more solid structure.

Its hard work but I do think this piece will really add to the finish of the model.

Finally! 

I did a few mistakes but are quite happy about the result. This really adds a cherry on the pie. Not an easy project but definitely worth it!

I realized that I have now completed the building phase of the model and reached page 48 of 54 in the manual.

No more cutting wood, sanding, painting nor gluing parts. All what is left to do has been organized into this box.

I have no clue how long time it will take to tie all the blocks and rig Speedy but it feels good to have completed this stage of the build. I will try to take some proper photos of how the ship looks like and post them in the next post. Thanks for all the nice comments and support so far.

Lovely looking model so far. Congratulations

 

I may be wrong but I believe the boat oars were stowed with all paddles facing the same way. No doubt the experts out there will confirm

Thanks, I have seen both ways but thought it was "cleaner" to do it zig zag.

I will now take a break from the work, since I am going on a long holiday abroad for the first time in 2.5 years. So dont expect any updates until I am back at the bench.
