Alex M Posted January 14, 2017 Author #339 Posted January 14, 2017 Hello, today only a small update, the work going slowly. The fore part of planking was most complicated one, I decide to make them as one piece of three plank to achieve clear rounding. The first image show the principle: Here both pieces glued in place: Overall view: First plank of after part is also glued.

Mark P Posted May 18, 2017 #359 Posted May 18, 2017 Hi Alex; A very nice job you have made of her indeed. The quality of the work is very high. Tapering deck planks look so good. I am intrigued to know if the scarph joints in the margin planks on the quarterdeck and forecastle are your own thought, or is this based on an example you have seen. All the best, and happy modelling.
