Thanks for all the comments. The lower gun deck is now pinned in place.   All the joints between the keel, frames and the lower gun deck have now been glued.  Currently building: HMS Victory

here is my current progress... 8 weeks ago  4 weeks ago  Current progress  Overall I'm fairly happy with it, I used a Dremel tool for the gun ports however I did cut the middle ports 2-3mm too big so I've added some extra wood planking to reduce the size, the next stage is to line gun ports. Currently building: HMS Victory

So after a 8 months away from the forum due to a career change/house move & lack of computer I'm back. Progress has continued on the Victory and below is the result so far... By mid July the hull planking was complete, the gun ports cut and lined and the wales fitted. As I'm going for a painted finish I used filler to smooth out some of the larger gaps (especially towards the bow and stern).   The stern looks really messy at this stage!  By mid October the decks were planked and the detailing started   A few days later the base coat was added with the stripes.  This concludes progress between June & October Currently building: HMS Victory
