Thanks Ian

Today I removed Rib 1 & 2 to re-seat them. I started by taking the bowsprit deck that sticks to front of rib 1 at the top and rests on the false key. I planked this and stuck it in place making sure this was all sqaure. The reason I did this part first was because it would rest on the top of the false keel when rib 1 was inserted thus giving me the correct seating of rib 1. Sorry forgot to take a picture of that part, I then seated Rib 2 and placed the forcastle deck on to get the right position.

This all worked perfectly so am back on track BigGrin, just dry fitted here as a test.



Next I planked the two halfs of the bow deck and attched, once the glue is dry I will sand. I havent decided if I will add the pencil treenails now or once the whole deck is done and then apply danish oil all at once. You will notice I didnt use the pencil technique to show the caulking, this is because I liked the effect of just the Danish oil that Stevie_o showed on his build







Thats Stage 4 completed

Thanks for stopping by and your comments Chris BigGrin

I have actully just noticed that I missed a plank on the bow deck, You can see the missing plank on picture 2, right at the bottom of the right Angry Perhaps Andy or Steve can advise if that bit is visile when the other decks get added?

Thanks Andy, Steve and Martyn BigGrin

I did come close to throwing in the towel and saying wooden ship building isnt for me but then I realised that was too easy and that every model has its challenges.

Time for a small update

Rib 7 attached and clamped up to make sure it is nice and square and forecastle deck support glued down.





Dry fit of hidden deck, all looks good



While waiting for the glue to dry I set about the long and slow task of cutting up another 100 deck planks, give or take.



Final false keel added then Rib 8



As you can see I am doubly sure that it is at right angles, I also measured the distances between the tops of ribs 7 & 8 just to make sure BigGrin



While that was left to dry I made up the anchors from step one, I also made the 2 from step 48 as I had previsouly sorted all the parts out.

Im sailing on with this one LOL

Checking alignment after gluing another Rib in place.



While the glue was drying I decided to crack open my OcCre workbench so I have somewhere to start putting things as at the moment everything is strewn accross my work area leaving me no space when I want to carry on with other builds.







Just need to stick the rubber bits on the last 3 parts and this bit is done.



Last Rib clamped in place, last bit of hidden deck added and supports added between the deck join with scraps, although after gluing them in I realised its the next up I should be gluing the supports where the decks join Blink



Its looking good to my eye

BigGrin Hi Dave

Nice work on the Trinny. I too have that work station and found it goes together well the only thing I changed was to discard that rubber tubing that sticks to nothing and replaced it with 15 mm pipe insulation sponge.

Regards

Thanks for tip Andy, I was thinking what I could use instead of the rubber, I did manage to get it stuck down but it took some time to do so thin the pipe insulation will be easier BigGrin

Thanks for comment Jase, I purchased this build station back when I first subscribed to the Trinny off the back of several recommendations on here, I cant remember who exactly but Im sure you Andy and Steve were in that list, never thought to build it until now.
