Hi Slowhand,

 

Thanks for your kind remarks  😁

 

I used a Proxxon for adjusting planks, I've always done all my models with only this tool, without any lime :

 

Proxxon 28472 FBS 240/E Meuleuse-perceuse : Amazon.fr: Commerce, Industrie  et Science

 

The bulkheads were cut with a scroll saw, and gun-ports at each plank, with the small steel saw illustrated, well following the draw :

Beautiful carving.  By all means, give your eyes a break.  Mine get crossed just thinking about something that small.

Yes... be happy and maybe a happy dance on finishing the back stern.  Wonderful work.
