The fit is nice without any adjustment to the QG or the drop, both are straight off the printer as designed. Will make a few slight adjustments and proceed with boxwood CNC carved ones for the model. It looks fantastic so far! rcweir and scrubbyj427 1 1

scrubbyj427 Posted Monday at 10:03 PM Author #217 Posted Monday at 10:03 PM I’ve started fairing the hull, still a long way to go and Pear sands like cement but slow and steady wins the race. Hoping to have it completed within a week or so.

scrubbyj427 Posted Thursday at 05:17 AM Author #218 Posted Thursday at 05:17 AM Getting closer on the stbd side. The oscillating dremal is a life saver! Should have the stbd side finished tomorrow and be well into the port side.

scrubbyj427 Posted 5 hours ago Author #226 Posted 5 hours ago Moving into chapter 2 I’ve attached the frieze panels and added the forward false sub deck for fairing reference. Now it’s time to primer and prepare the gunports for paint and line off the upper hull for planking. Finally it will begin to look like Portland!

Trussben Posted 4 hours ago #227 Posted 4 hours ago Liking the progress, what material will you be planking with? AYC like the other prototype? mtbediz 1 Current builds: HMS Portland, HMS Pegasus . Completed builds: HMS Winchelsea. ECHO cross section.18th C Longboat. QA Barge. Medway Longboat.
