Hi Jonny.
I wondered about the need to put some ballast in the lower hull, in case the finished ship was top-heavy.
So, I started a build discussion and Mr T said it was about 5 kgs.

Hi there shipmates...After months of lounging around in the background daily drooling over all the magnificent sots builds that are currently way ahead of me...I finally got around to getting some work done on my own build! With all the frames in place, I began the fairing and checking each frame with a straight edge to see if any were out of line? I did find one frame on the stern that sat slightly shallow to what it should be and built it up using scrap strips of three by one millimetre wood, Another check over with a spare strake then continued fairing checking the ribs all the time, Three and a half days later, I began laying the planking as per Mr T's official build and here are the results.jonny7england attached the following image(s): Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas. Completed Builds: Del Prado: HMAS Bounty: Hachette: RMS Titanic: Del Prado: Cutty Sark...

Hi Jonny, Looks like you made a good start. One bit of friendly advise, take your time and it will save you lots of time when it comes to sanding for the second planking task. Keep up the good work. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
