Well here we go, my first attempts at ship building.

 

Got the bottom put together and glued to the frame. Start planking tomorrow

I'm sure you will enjoy the building of this model. I learned a lot from this series of kits.

Soaked the Garboard planks and are now letting them dry into shape

This looks nice. Can I have a front seat? The Panther background adds interest 🙂.

 

Best regards

Started shaping the Broad Strake.

 

I also have a question, is there a false stem in the kit? Or is that something I make out of the strips of wood?

@Malazan I made mine from the the strip supplied in the the kit.  Just make it a little longer than what you need for ease of handling then trim or sand it back.

I’m redoing my planks on the bow and transom. Didn’t like how the turned out the first go around 

[Malazan]

Well after multiple mistakes, like using my gunnel piece for the floor cleats instead of the 1/8 x 3/64, so now I had to order some 1/16 x 1/16 stock😣

 

So I shaped my risers and one gunnel piece 

Used some wood filler to fill transom area, and False Stem area

Ive ordered another MS Dory, I’m going to do it again after this one. Don’t feel comfortable moving on until I get this one right
