SaltyScot Posted 16 hours ago #31 Posted 16 hours ago It does look good, Jo. Just a point on painting the bulwarks instead of planking them though - I was always under the impression that putting those inside planks on the bulwarks strengthened them somewhat and that gave the gun ports a little more stability, structurally. This is not based on fact buddy, just my opinion.

That sounds reasonable on a real boat but, as I see it, in this case the second planking is most of all intended to cover the naked lime wood from first planking with walnut for a nicer appearance. Therefore, as it visually wouldn't really make a difference when painted, I skipped this step. Current Build: Schooner Newport - Mamoli 1:57
