I would leave it as you have it. Bluenose II does not have extra-wide margin plans around her house, so yours is closer to the prototype than the kit version!

Tnx, that's a great thing to hear! 

You are right, I have looked at some images and the smaller frame is closer to the real one!

Today, I encountered the first part that I really struggled with!

I am still pretty happy with the result, given that almost every task in building a wooden modelship is new to me, but this is something I still need to get better at!

 

I was adding more planks on the deck, but as per manual, I have to make some cutouts in the curved outer plank. And that part, I did not find easy.....

okay, still room for improvement, but with every new plank, my skills are growing a tiny bit!

And maybe more important: I like doing this! I can’t put it aside, it’s addictive!

Nice joggling of the planks!

Did this ease your mind a little? As in no worry regarding shrinkage? Or even expansion?
