ECK Posted June 19 Share #1 Posted June 19 Well I could not help myself. After finishing HMS Sherbourne, Adder was sitting on my work table calling my name. I just had to start As this is a flat bottomed ship with drop keels, the assembly starts with making the cradle Then the false keel is placed. Ribs then installed. All linked together At this point everything is slathered in glue and drying overnight. Important to to muck up the keel slots with glue (seen in bow and stern areas) brunnels, chris watton, mugje and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECK Posted June 21 Author Share #2 Posted June 21 Spent the day sanding feathering the hull, adding the prow and clamping the wet bulwark into place to allow drying overnight. You may notice I clamped them backwards but quickly fixed the problem before they had a chance to dry. Never can have to many clamps Craigie65, rcweir, chris watton and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigie65 Posted Saturday at 12:27 PM Share #5 Posted Saturday at 12:27 PM I am 16 months in and planking the forecastle deck. I have a feeling that it will go faster after I plank the poop deck.
