FrankWouts Posted July 23 Author #421 Posted July 23 (edited) Hi all, Planking on, only twelve rows deck planking to go…still 5 days holiday left, so little more than two rows a day would finish the deck these holidays. I see now my little plank with bricks, the stove platform has curled a little, probably due to the moist black paint I put on. I have to see if my stove will be straight up later on…Otherwise I’ll replace it with fun to make dark redbrown clay bricks and a new black frame. Frank.

FrankWouts Posted September 27 Author #441 Posted September 27 (edited) Thank you all for the kind words, these are really appreciated and inspiring! I’ve been busy making my stand fit to the hull and put some WOP on it. The lowest edge had some ugly spots so I decided to paint it very dark brown, almost black to cover that up. With a last layer of WOP this will look very natural I hope. Also I finally put the glass behind the windows on the sides of the quarter galleries. The rudder section is not yet finished as you can see ofcourse. Frank.

FrankWouts Posted yesterday at 02:16 PM Author #445 Posted yesterday at 02:16 PM (edited) Thank you Steve, Yes I’m afraid I have that detail, fit & finish syndrome which slows me down a lot, but only then gives me full satisfaction. Lots of techniques and detail also is new to me, so I’m also very careful not to ruin Chuck’s lovely parts. Today, Sunday, I have some time to make some progress in chapter 5 again. I’m now at making the port lids fit… Frank.
