ejhammerWatching with interest. I love scratch built wood models. Are you building it in your car? EJ
Now I will start working on the decks.
lower gun deck
top deck
forecastle and quorter deck
the poop deck is very small and will not be added until the hull is planked.
I'm subscribed to your build Santa and look forward to seeing it progress. You do fine work.
I put all the plywood I cut out to slide the decks in, back in, to hold the decks in place for planking the hull.
the first plank is on and drying. when the secound plank is dry, I will re position it and use it to scribe a line on the first plank. then I remove the first plank and whittle it to the scribe line--then glue it to the hull.
first plank glued on, and secound plank pined in place, on both sides.
here's the picture for yesterdays post.
second plank glued on and therd plank drying, on both sides.
side view to show the spacer.
Impressive work so far.....Cheers mark
