Trussben Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share #189 Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Completed chapter #4 with the deck planking done. I do have to touch up some paintwork that was damaged during the decking. Chapter #5 starts with the rudder and so I have to machine some pear wood and cut those pieces out to match the plans as I will not be using the laser cut parts.

Hubac's Historian Posted May 1, 2022 Share #193 Posted May 1, 2022 Your decking is really nice, and you have achieved that super-rare, scale-rarity which is realistic grain patterning on individual planks. This really stands out to me. FrankWouts and Trussben 2 We are all works in progress, all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trussben Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share #194 Posted May 1, 2022 Thanks for the likes and kind comments. I decided to go ahead and make the rudder trunk and seats as well as the two ladderways. These are some really beautiful laser cut and etched parts that go together and look fantastic when finished. scrubbyj427, WalrusGuy, Stuntflyer and 19 others 22 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share #196 Posted June 15, 2022 Rudder has almost been completed and the bow-tie and horse shoe plates installed and the “fake” bolts attached.
