Alan Hi Alan, i've ordered a cherry stain from CMB, going to do some testing first with that and then give it a high gloss finish and see how we get on with that, if i'm not happy i will probably copper tape it as i did on my DelPrado, i'm looking to keep as much natural wood as possible, never used wood stain before so i dont know what the finish is like.

Well done Paul! A lovely bit of planking there, I would have been proud to put that one together! It should give you a great base to glue all those annoying 'sticky out bits' on to!! A real credit!

I am thank you Rob, still a long way to go to as Robin says "to glue all those annoying stick out bits onto", looks a bit different to when it first came to me, i'll put up some comparison pics when i've finished the gunport linings. cheers Paul Building: DelPrado HMS Victory.
