SaltyDog Posted January 13, 2024 #1 Posted January 13, 2024 Hello I've been lurking on this website for a couple of years and building ship models to various levels of completion but thought it was actually time to build something to completion and post it on this website. The frame and bulkheads went together nicely and I am putting on my first layer of planking. I did some rabbet work and a bearding line down by the keel, stem, and post rather than following the kit instructions to the letter. ccoyle, CTDavies, KARAVOKIRIS and 1 other 4
SaltyDog Posted February 6, 2024 Author #2 Posted February 6, 2024 I finished the 1st layer of planking and then sanded the hull. I applied some wood filler and sanded it again. The instructions tell you to plank the bottom of the stern with walnut before starting the 2nd layer of planking. KARAVOKIRIS and Mr Whippy 2
SaltyDog Posted February 13, 2024 Author #3 Posted February 13, 2024 Progress continues. 2nd planking commences. Then the wale was installed. Mr Whippy, Heinrich der Seefahrer and ccoyle 2 1
Thunder Posted March 19, 2024 #5 Posted March 19, 2024 This is a delightful little model that does not get the attention it deserves.

SaltyDog Posted December 4, 2024 Author #6 Posted December 4, 2024 I have been neglecting making updates as I have made further progress on this model. Here are some recent photos. Have some more deck furniture add as well as the rudder before I start on the masts, bowspirit and other related details.
