Greetings to all. This will be my 1st Build Log but have been a long time lurker. My history of ship building includes Constructo HMS Grimsby, Constructo Pandora, and last with my skills sharpened Panart San Felipe. I'm not in much of a hurry when building these but more importantly, always finish what I've started.

Well, you've got me beat!

Framing and lower decking in place. For some reason my upper bow nose piece will require a smaller spacer to fit snug. That will happen after gun ports have been cut out.

You're off to a good beginning.

The Bow upper nose piece requires 2 gunports to be cut. After cutting and squaring up I trimmed the inside walls with walnut strips.

With the nose pieces installed the sanding began. There's a great deal of wood that needs to be removed to provide a smooth transition surface when planking.
