Well the cheap super glue has worked a lot better than the rest I tried, I will see if I can get some "Green label Zap-A-Gap CA glue", but that will be in December when I'm back. Here's how it's progressing!  ________________________________________________________________________________________ Built Mare Nostrum Google Photo AlbumMatelot (ˈmætləʊ) , Matlo or Matlow

 Well finally completed coppering the hull, It's taken a while, but this is not a quick project. It's going to be some time before I can move to the next bit as I'm off again next week for six months! ________________________________________________________________________________________ Built Mare Nostrum Google Photo AlbumMatelot (ˈmætləʊ) , Matlo or Matlow

Well I am doing a few things out of order, and next I'm doing the Upper Deck before the Lower Gun deck, with everything in place. Easier to clean the mess from when I cut the Hold. (Yes it will be removable, then secured once all holes are cut and everything in place below decks)  I have just only spotted where the forward deck would not be flat, so I went back over previous post to see what others had done. so now it's sorted and the slope cut out. Wish I had done this before now! Next to fill the gaps with some filler  ________________________________________________________________________________________ Built Mare Nostrum Google Photo AlbumMatelot (ˈmætləʊ) , Matlo or Matlow

Well I've done most the upper deck planking and just finished staining it with Georgian Oak wood dye. I give it overnight and put some Danish oil in to finish it off with.   All nails in place...  ...and sanded down...  ...Stained, now back and to getting the cannons done! ________________________________________________________________________________________ Built Mare Nostrum Google Photo AlbumMatelot (ˈmætləʊ) , Matlo or Matlow

I did the upper deck temporarily removable, to make it easier and for less mess falling down to the Lower Gun Deck. With the trenails, I just drilled out 0.8 mm holes and used the ends of cocktail sticks.
