She's coming along very nicely Dave. I find the work station to be invaluable, everything I need for my SOTS build is stored in it ready for when it's needed. Don't think I would be without it now....Cool Cool

Thanks Alan, it does look like a quality bit of kit BigGrin

As I have been working nights I have not been getting much time, what little time I have had I am using to get the workstation finished.

Its really taking shape now, just a couple more bits to do and its done. Its feeling really sturdy now BigGrin

Im not sure if I needed to or not but I did add some small nails for extra strenght on the joins, although I am pretty sure it would have been fine after the glue had dried properly. I just wanted to make sure BigGrin

Started filling the draws already LOL






Oh and this flew over the garden yesterday, we get a lot of flyovers during airshow season.

Finished the OcCre work station and started filling it up



A bit more progress made with the Trinny. Deck supports added, middle deck added and Rib 12 added. Thats all the ribs now, had a quick dry fit with all the decks and they all fit just fine BigGrin no picture of this.

I will continue to finish the middle deck then plank it all in one go.

Today is one of those rare days that I have a day off AND no chores that need doing, well apart from repainting the kitchen window sill so I started off this morning with starting the planking after I had left the remainder of the middle deck drying over night.

I had precut about 100 planks for the task, I found this quite an easy task, this was probably as I waited until the whole of the deck was in place and had pre cut the planks. It didnt take me long to get through all those planks so after lunch I shall be starting the tedious task of cutting lots more.

I will be doing the trenails with a pencil as per the instructions after the deck is complete and had a light sanding.

Between sanding and painting the kitchen window sill, building some Millennium Falcon Frame and sorting my shelves I carried on planking the middle deck.

I am chuffed to bits with the progress that I have made on this so far and apart from the hiccup with ribs 1 & 2 everything has gone really well.

About 250 planks were cut today, the planking progressed out to the edges and nearly finished. I decided to plank and go right to the edges where they wouldnt be see as well as I saw it as practice for when I come to do the main deck. Some planks had to be notched to get round the ribs.








I am absolutely loving the work station, when I've finished everything is just popped on the try or in the storage areas ready to start work another day.

Thanks for your comments Mick and Martyn BigGrin

Mick, This is my first wooden ship so cant compare it to the Victory, this however is a fantastic kit and it does seem to be going together really well. I am really looking forward to getting some of the hardwood on that is supplied as the wood looks really nice Cool

Thanks Steve and Andy

Although I need to get the hang of not applying so much glue as I seem to be wasting a lot when I stick things down and it oozes out the sides resulting in lots of clean up.

If you look at that bottle of glue in the work station that was full and only been used for the Trinny and work station Blink

BigGrin With glue its all down to practice you will soon get the knack of knowing exactly how much to use to do the job in handCool

Better to use to much and clean up rather than not enough in the first place I guess Cool I'm sure I will get there the balance right soon.

In the meantime while I am adding the coats of danish oil to the middle deck I thought I would see what else I could do.

After looking ahead in the instructions I decided I would be safe doing the gratings BigGrin so here is where I am;

it was fiddly work doing these, I found it easier to tape two of the corners down. Once all the parts were in place I took my CA applicator tool and rubbed it around the inside of each square to fix it all in place.

Next was to cut out the grates needed, 5 in total.

I have complete one so far, rounding off the edges slightly.

In the instructions it mentions to apply varnish, my question is what varnish would people recommend, I think I want a matt finish. Also would you recommend varnishing the danish oil sealed decks or is the oil enough on its own.
