KennyH78 Posted Tuesday at 12:15 PM #303 Posted Tuesday at 12:15 PM She is looking really nice. I love the CNC'd figure head and stern carvings. I think I may not have mentioned this before, but I love how you combined POB and POF model into a hybrid model! bdgiantman2 1 Kenny Current Builds: MS US Frigate Confederacy Medway Longboat 1742 On Hold: Continental Frigate Raleigh 1777 Completed Builds: MS 18th Century Longboat Dinghy - Midwest Kit H.M.S Triton Cross Section 1/48 Chesapeake Bay Flattie - Midwest Kit Future Builds: MS English Pinnace; OcCre Endurance; Revenue Cutter Cheerful

I think the design works well at producing a navy board model without having to fully frame the entire hull only to cover up a ton of expensive pearwood!

scrubbyj427 Posted Friday at 01:50 AM Author #306 Posted Friday at 01:50 AM I began fairing the inner hull, as mentioned earlier, the bow needs to be done first in order to install the beak head beam and finish the channel wales. I began by cutting all the extension reenforcement hoops out with a small excel saw blade. MDF cuts like butter so this goes quick from here I faired all the bulkheads down to the first hance piece. I faired enough of the bow aft of the beak head bulkhead beam that I won’t have to worry about coming close to that area then I finish fairing the inside. Now I can complete the channel wale. But before I finish that I moved onto finishing the lower garboard strake plus an additional one. With this complete I could finally add some WOP to the remaining portside hull and frames. Moving on to finish the portside gunports now and finally the last strake at the channel wale.

shauer Posted Friday at 05:04 PM #307 Posted Friday at 05:04 PM Nice update, thanks for taking the detailed pictures of the important steps. I'm hoping to be able to have this be my next project after I complete my Winnie build, so I appreciate the level of detail you are documenting. Steve Current Project: HMS Winchelsea
