Thank you Chuck, Glenn and also for the likes!
I'm making slower progress now, here's a little preview.
Still two more strakes to finish the second belt...

Your planking is looking great, really good job on the counter. I definitely had a difficult time at the stern as well.

Thank you for the kind words and likes guys.
I finished the second belt and before I continue
I've finally started fairing inboard as well.
And I also was bending the top cap.
I blackened the inside edge so I know as far as I can sand.
It's slow going, I'll continue tomorrow...

Hey guys,
I haven't made a post in a while, but I've been working very hard and  I finally have news
because I finished planking.

Just need to glue the stern post and then I'll take hopefully better pics.

And the second chapter will be finished.

A few more photos that preceded it.

 

garboard strake...

Thanks for the compliments,
I am lucky to learn and be inspired by you guys.
Planking was a difficult process and it doesn't even seem to have taken several months.
I'm glad it's done.
But unfortunately I can't wax the hull yet.
I'm thinking of buying a WOP and trying this method of finishing.
I decided to skip the third chapter for now
and start chapter four first.
I think it will be better that way and at least I won't damage the mouldings and friezes while doing rough work on the deck.

I was originally planning on a maple deck but now I think I'll just stick with cherry wood.
What do you think?
Test on the sub deck...

and next beams and carlings

I am a big proponent for not mixing wood types.  My preference is always to use the same wood for hull and deck.  But I am old school and tend to look at and admire the contemporary models which mostly did the same.

Hi guys, I finally found the time to update my log.

Thank you Chuck, I agree with you and I won't mix wood types.

So I just cut the cherry strips for the deck...
Continuation of chapter four:
I glued the two halves of the false deck together and fitted them to the model like this.
Before I did that, I checked to make sure they were the same width.

And finally the bulwark planking can begin.

I have a feeling it was more challenging than the hull planking.

I'm really happy that I did it before I would have painted the friezes.

I have also now modified the deck clamps for forecastle
beams based on chapter eight.

And I also finished the first chapter and glued the bollard timbers to place...

This is really great work, well done. Doing the bulwarks before the frieze work seems a good idea.

Thank you for the kind words and likes guys.

A few more words I accidentally deleted yesterday.

I finished completely bulwark planking
and after sanding, I started painting.
I think it was 8 layers. First 3 layers mixture of 1part Cadmium medium and 2 parts deep.
Color I mentioned on the previous page in posts 31 and 38.
But it seemed too sweet to me,
so I stopped inventing and the rest of the layers is just Cadmium Deep.
The photos don't capture it well, I think I need to do something about my lights.

After painting I finished The Paneled Captain's Cabin, Inboard counter at the stern and finally margin planks.

Checkered cabin floor is ready but not yet glued.

Thank you Frank and also for all the likes.

Before I start laying the decks planks I want to make sure
that the Foremast Partner and Stove platform is in the right position.

That's why I already have the deck beams ready.

I wasn't sure about the placement of the false deck and thought I would have to move the partners back slightly.
But in the end, I'm happy as it is.
What do you think?
