Very nicely done Augie, you have got the deck clamps perfect where the cabin partition line on the false deck is right under the deck clamp cutout. Now are you gonna spill the beans on what wood you are going to use for the Floor??

Keep the beans, Augie and surprise us.   Confed is looking great.  Nice work on those clamps.

Augie, I'm happy to see you back at it. The interior looks very nice so far. If you'd be so kind as to put off fishing and the great outdoors for a while longer and get more done, we'd all appreciate it.  :P  :P  :P  :P  :P

come on Augie.............cannons aren't mind numbing.........they're a work of art!  sure they are a  'mass production' aspect,  but it's rather fun to add on the little baubles  :)     now,  if you really want to drive yourself to new fits of madness........plank the deck!   I'm with Ben on this........It will be very nice to see how the deck compliments the bulwarks,  and make Ben smile at the same time  :)

Just a quick update.  The inner bulwarks have been painted except in the Great Cabin where they were stained. 

 

I used 10 coats of diluted MS Bulwark Red somewhat modified to attain the red I was looking for (same as the gun ports).  A coat of flat acrylic lacquer was applied as well:

We'll now be turning our attention to the deck......but not before some (long delayed) domestic chores and a sortie to the hallowed fishing grounds are completed.  I shall return with ....... ???????

Beware of the fish.. bring the moose home.  After he/she gets done with the yard, there won't be any chores.... until the moose leaves, that is. ;)

 

Planking and painting are top-notch...
