Blue Ensign Posted June 3 Author Share #61 Posted June 3 When I came back to the build I re-read Chuck's log and many others, to refresh my memory. I consider myself lucky that I have all these excellent builds, including yours Bob, to refer to. I picked up the tip of using the thinner stuff from Chuck's log, but it's not mentioned in the download instructions. I was concerned about using too much pressure on those open frames. B.E.

Blue Ensign Posted June 5 Author Share #62 Posted June 5 Post 23 Completing the boarding. The outer boards, one each side are a construction of two 1/32nd strips, one atop the other leaving a rabbet on the outer side. As with the wide boards I opted to glue the base layer first followed by the top layer. 0071 There was a degree of fettlin’ to get the planks tight against the broad planks, and an even rabbet along the outer side. The nail positions were marked with the top planks in situ and removed for the drilling and ‘nail’ insertion. 0076 0075 On completion a coat of w-o-p was applied. Moving onto the platforms.
