Very nice work Marsalv!

Installation of deck beams. Before other installations and bulkheads are installed, the deck beams are fixed with an auxiliary fixture.

I decided to finish the outer planking above the wales first before installing the interior equipment. The first thing I had to do was cut out the holes for the gunport and oars.

I continue with molding rails.

I started planking between the wales and molding rails.

Looks really nice !  Question - it does not look like you simulate caulking on your models or if so its very subtle ?

Excellent work on that drop plank.

[marsalv]

Thank you guys.

To Chris - I don't like the black caulking between the planks to be too prominent, so the caulking here is created only by blackening the edge of the plank with a pencil so that it is not too prominent. The only exception is the planks on the decks, where the caulking is created with black paper. Here this color contrast makes a bit more sense (at least from my point of view).

I continue by planing the "thicker" part of the bow.

[ChrisLBren]

It does - thank you V !!!!

The cutaway port side of the hull in the last photo looks really cool!
