The port side planking is complete.

In picture #301, I was looking at the top plank at the transom, and it has an end that tapers to"0". Is there a way to make this to avoid such a fragile end and still retain the height you need? Just a thought, not suggesting I know of a better way.

I’m not quite sure I understand what you are asking. Are you referring to where the planks meet the lower counter?

Some small progress on the QG today. Spent most time designing parts and printing trial and error. Oh and whatever this resin is, it’s absolutely best friends with CA and believe it or not… Tightbond. There will be zero issues attaching things to these and then to the hull.

Those QGs are really coming together nicely; dare I say museum quality.

That is a lovely rendition of the carved work as shown in the ship's portrait!
