Done with hull painting. I purposely didn’t add any filler to the hull so individual planks would show through the paint.

Wasn’t happy with the blue I had chosen so decided to re-do that part using the colour suggestion from another thread here on MSW.

Hi Scott.

Thanks for the comments, I'm still plugging away at the gun port framing... 

Are you planning on starting the Hermione soon? Keep me posted if you start a build log, would love to follow it. This site is so helpful.

Im currently busy working on the rigging for the endeavour. So it shouldn't be too far off.

Lining gunports can be very tedious. Looks like a brilliant job. Nice work. The paint job has come out superb.

All the work just to cover most of it up.... 

I also cut off the top of the frames prior to putting the deck on, seems like a much easier way to do it.

Hi James,

 

Great job. I can see you have a steady hand with painting cap rails. 

 

Tip, Check the set of stairs that came with the AL kit. When I wanted to assemble my stairs I found that the stringers had uneven saw cuts. This resulted in a spiral staircase that just didn't look right. I ordered a set of stairs from Amati, which were really a lot nicer than the ones from Artesania Latina.

Thanks for the heads up Peter! I'll check the stairs that came in my kit.  I'm also running into the issue where the cap rails on the bow don't even come close to fitting. I saw on your build log you had the same problem and had to make them from scratch...guess I will be doing the same.

Hi James,

 

The cap rails I made from scrap are following the curve of the bow much better then the cap rails that came with the kit. There a lot of flaws in the design  of the Hermione that can be very frustrating. But, if you can solve them the result will be rewarding.

Here’s where I ended up with it. Just used leftover rail that was already profiled and painted.  Not exactly what they are supposed to look like, but close enough.

It’s actually a bit of an illusion in the photo, I haven’t trimmed down the top plank yet, so once I do the bowsprit should drop down into place. Good eye though, feel free to point out anything else that looks off!
