wolfxserver Posted August 22, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2023 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. ccoyle, Knocklouder and OllieS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfxserver Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted August 23, 2023 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. GrandpaPhil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfxserver Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted August 27, 2023 The Bow upper nose piece requires 2 gunports to be cut. After cutting and squaring up I trimmed the inside walls with walnut strips. Baker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfxserver Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share #6 Posted August 27, 2023 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. Baker and Katsumoto 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
