Nice job on the deck Gray. I agree the 4' stagger looks much more realistic. Love watching you guys do the wooden ship builds. Awesome work.
Best Regards,
Ron

Hi Gray,
Yep, I agree with the guys above. The second version of decking looks much more realistic.

Well, it's been a while so i thought i had better update this diary!
Once the lower deck was complete it was time to fit the upper deck. This was then planked, stained and trenailed as per the lower deck.

The Bulwarks are fitted next, but you actually start from the top working downwards Confused

This presents its own problems, like how do you get the upper bulwark to fit along the edge of the top deck? In the end i glued some temporary tabs underneath the top deck, which alowed the bulwarks to sit at the right height. Once one side was glued in place, it was repeated for the other.

Each side has three rows of bulkarks, which terminate at the notch on each bulwark. As each row is fitted, 15mm squares are cut and glued in place behind each gunport. Some of these can be a bit of a pain to get in place. Also because of the bulkheads, some of these will need to butt up against them.

Once all of the bulwarks are in place, it is time to sand everything down, ready for planking Scared

I needed something that would alow me to turn the skeleton upside down without damaging the top bulwark. As luck would have it, i had just recently replaced our home printer and the polystyrene that came with it was just the right size for the hull to sit in ThumpUp Result!

I also added balsa to the bow and stern to help with the lay of the planking.

BigGrin Gibbo, Glenn, Alan, thanks for looking in guys ThumpUp

Glenn, the stain is just Wilco's own Danish Oil. Only thing is, because it is just 'wiped on and allowed t dry in', it's easy to catch when sanding so might need another coat yet!

Today's small update involves planking below the transom.
Due to the curve below the transom, i had to temporarily use pins to hold the planks on the lower counter in place while the glue dries. When cured, i will sand to shape.

While waiting for that, i thought i would skip forward a bit in the instructions. I had read that once the upper planking was in place, the false gunports need painting black. As many have said, this has disaster written all over it, as the posibility of getting paint on the resulting planks is waaaayyyyy to easy!
So i used some Tamiya X1 Black acrylic to 'black out' the ports before fitting the planks.

I've found a noticeable drawback with the Amati Keel Clamp, shown in the last picture below. When trying to clamp it to my worktable, the front end has a habit of 'lifting'. So much so that i couldn't use it easily on my workbench so had to adapt my computer table Huh

Smart thinking on the gun port painting, Graham.
Hopefully a lot of these tips are sinking in for when I start on mine.
Well done.
