Hi Kym. Thanks for your comments. Yes the infills are good regarding later planking. Quite a lot of work to do on hull regarding gluing and later sanding of the balsa, but I'd say is worth it. You can also see the planking profile a lot easier too when done Regards George Building HMS SOTS

Lovely work on the infills George, you can now see clearly the shape the old girl will have and think you will agree the hull is now very sturdy... .. Very well done... Regards Alan

Regards Alan Hi Alan. Thanks for the kind comments they are as always greatly appreciated. Yes, as you told me earlier in the piece the hull with full infill certainly gives the hull strength and sturdiness. I thank you for giving me the enthusiasm in your earlier posts to do it. A really big benefit also is there can be no warping or twisting with the keel while waiting on planking or while planking. Regards George Building HMS SOTS

Hi George I've just been looking at your infill work and you've done a great job there I am currently doing infill work and it's all done except the bit right at the stern. I found things a bit awkward between frames 21 and 22 with the transition from convex to concave form. I like the idea of the balsa supports under alternate deck beams, I will copy that! Regards JohnP

Regards JohnP Hi John Thanks for looking in and your kind comments. Yes the infills are a little tricky right at the stern with the change in shape of curvature. We still have another high rib frame to come yet so you might find you'll need even more sanding at the stern once the angle past it can be followed. The deck beams looked pretty flimsy to me just attached by a couple of mm on the ends for a start. That's why the balsa supports every second beam. I might add an odd extra support if I find the joins go to a beam without a support, but won't know till that 2nd decking comes in another two kit's time, I think? Regards George Building HMS SOTS

So hard to not start my own one, only I want to finish a few of my other ships, before I start on her.
I am also doing HMB Endeavour, HMS Victory & HMS Hood as well.

One good thing about not starting yet on the SOTS is you'll pick up heaps of tips and find out any problems we run into as queries on the forum. It will help to make your build when you do start a little less confusing here and there. Regards George Building HMS SOTS

I haven't seen your name before so I'm taking it you're a Newbie like me, in particular regards SOTS. Planking still a little way off yet. Next issue is (14) and 2nd deck so I'm looking forward to that. Also Looking forward to seeing your build when you start on it and as it progresses. Regards George Building HMS SOTS

Hi Brex. If you look in Friday morning to see how I went on issue 13, I'm sorry there's nothing to show as I have already done what the issue instructs some time back re the launch. Only new items are; I've metal primed the oars, anchor and bucket that came in issue 13, but no other instructions other than only to put away till another time.( I couldn't fully paint anyway as colours are some of the four that's yet to arrive). At least the 2nd deck comes with issue 14 so as you can imagine I'm looking forwards to that at least. Regards George Building HMS SOTS

Hi George, I did get a look in late Friday, very late Friday. I must say when I picked up my copy on Thursday I thought 'poor George' what is he going to do now but I knew you would find a way. I am making progress with the balsa infills but not complete yet. Will add photo to post shortly though  as a progress report.
