Thanks for all the likes and nice comments.

 

I’m making good progress on the QD beams and knees, all the way down to where I now have to start fitting the chain pumps in place.

The pumps were built as per the instructions without much issue along with the Capstans, columns, Main Jeer Bitts and Gallows.

 

Lets see how this final part of chapter 7 goes!

Completed Chapter 7 with the completion of the Chain pumps and their associated cranks.

I won’t install the elm tree pumps until much later as I’m bound to knock them off.

Just a little bit of sanding to do on the QD beams and knees to flatten them down for their margin planks and then to install the QD carlings.

Did you glue all your bulkheads onto keel before you removed the char?

Yes I certainly did, glue the bulkheads and maybe spacers between them all in place before going near it with sandpaper, you will do that when you "fair" them roughly before adding the gunport cills.

Chapter 8 has begun by adjusting the positions of the Forward six FC deck beams as per the layout plan, they all needed to be moved forward to some degree.

Also both sets of the riding bitts were built and installed.

Look back at many logs, you’ll find fairing is one of the most challenging and crucial steps of your build. It defines all that comes after. In this case the char actually helps as a guide.

Yours are closer than mine were. It’s all looking really nice. The natural wood is a nice look.

Chapter 8 has been completed, just a little sanding of the deck beams and knees when I start planking to get a nice run.

 

I still haven’t added the cannons in the waist yet as want to keep them out of the way as long as possible so I don’t knock them loose with an errant elbow.

Well done! Like you my elm tree pumps and waist cannon weren't installed until the end of Chapter 11.  Your wood selection and paint choices, not to mention the framing cutout, make yours unique with lots of visual appeal.

Glenn

Chapter 9 is well under way with the QD and FC side plates to cover the last of the framing done, Caprails installed and the QD planking half completed.

There will be lots of paint touchups that will need to be done and small gaps filled when the planking is completed.

The center section isn’t hard, with all the tapering and fitting around hatches, nope not hard at all 🙂

Center planking on both QD and FC completed and I started the gangways, I want to finish most of the inboard details before I begin the railings to avoid damaging them.
