The failure of the copper plating task did knock my confidence and dented my enthusiasm with this hobby. That said I have now moved on to tasks which I tend to enjoy so my enthusiasm is returning.

Yeh, me too. Been there, done that, put the model aside for a while, then returned ro it later. My first wooden ship model was the AL Endeavour. Back before the Internet, so no help at all. Second planking was turning into a total disaster, so I let it be for a while, then took a deep breath and ripped it all off. Started again.

A little bit more progress over the last couple of days.

 

I have added the gunwales, timberheads and the sheer rails. I opted to paint the sheer rails flat red. On reflection I wish I had painted the upper rail flat red also rather than black.

 

I have also added the woo and stern side counter timbers.

 

Here is a photo of the hull prior to fitting the stern side counter timbers.

A couple of photos of the bow area.

The next photo shows the woo pattern.

As can be seen in the next two photos now the stern side counter patterns have been fitted, I will need to add a little bit of wood filler to the right hand-hand side and I will need to adjust the bottom edge of the left-hand side so it follows the line of the wale.
