HMS Crocodile 1781 by Pirate adam - 1/48 scale - POF

I have cut the ledges on the stern deadwood.  I used a combination of the Sherline Mill and chisels.  I was happy to have the 2 practice pieces before cutting into the actual model. Still some cleaning up to do along the bearding line portions.

Finally some progress.  I will not say that the lower apron has been one of my favorite parts to make, but went together without any drama.  The upper apron was weirdly way more trouble and resulted in a cut finger, but nothing serious.  I told my wife that no wood ship model has ever been built without at least a little blood included.  She told me to be more careful.  Knee of the head and forward portions of the keelson won't be attached until later, but they have been sanded to fit.  I'm amazed at how big the chunks of wood and complexity of fabrication must been like on this portion of the ship in real life.
