Fundysnapper Posted Saturday at 10:50 AM #1 Posted Saturday at 10:50 AM Hi, I am new to building wooden ships. This is my first build. I was gifted this kit. I know it's quite advanced for a newbie but I am diving in. Unboxing and I am already overwhelmed. I am also new to the site. I started building back in January 2025. I have made a lot of mistakes but learning every time I work on it. I have completed the planking, the deck planking and have built most of the deck parts. JacquesCousteau and Knocklouder 2

Fundysnapper Posted Saturday at 11:02 PM Author #5 Posted Saturday at 11:02 PM Glued and fitted the bulkheads. Unfortunately I didn't tack them in place. My first mistake of many more to come. So I had a bunch of warping. Made spacers and with a little steam and heat I fixed it up. Lesson learned the hard way. JacquesCousteau and Knocklouder 2
