Short update, at long last I have finally finished laying the deck planking.... also took the opportunity to remove the ears on the central deck section so I was able to plank straight over to the edge of the bullworks... Cool Cool .. The slow part of this process was not the laying of the planks but more to do with preparation, especially as each plank was cut, sanded smooth including the edges followed by give each 3 coats of stain... Could also say I was being fussy with the planks I was choosing to apply to the deck trying to make sure I kept a used like look.... very pleased with how it turned out and the pics do not do it justice... Cool Cool .. Tomorrow its down to cutting the mast holes, trimming the hatchways and make a start on the treenailing... Will post more pics then.... Cool Cool

Happy building all,,,,

Regards

Alan

The deck looks the 'muts nuts'(didn't want to be in bother using the other versionLOL )Alan.Very,very impressive,well worth the time and effortCool Cool Cool .I presume you will be using 1mm gratings.Before doing any additional work around the hatches,I would be tempted to suss out your grating layout to suit the different gratings.It may be a case of enlarging the holes slightly to work with the different gratings so you don't end up with half a hole scenario.

Hi Nigel and thanks for the very supportive comments, most appreciated... Cool Cool .. You are correct of course, I fully intend to change the gratings to 1mm and got a feeling each hatch will take at least 3 grating kits... Glare Glare .. You have now given me food for thought, so much so I'm not going to trim the hatches yet, not until the gratings are ready to fit...Cool Cool .. Got a thought in my head to actually make up the gratings and actually fit the gratings to the grating surrounds first and when happy then fit to cover the hatch holes....Cool Cool .. Will have a think and a look at that idea..... Thanks again for the heads up on that one..... Cool Cool

Regards

Alan

Started this evening by cutting out the mast holes on the decking, hatches are being left until I come to do the gratings...Cool Cool .. Made a start on treenailing the deck.Crying Crying .. first thing I did was to drill the treenail holes using the trusty Dremel and a .35mm drill, ensured the drill went through the deck ply underneath the decking strips...Blink Blink Using .3mm monofilament fishing line, coated the end with some PVA and used tweezers to push the line into the drilled hole ensuring it went through the decking strips and the ply underneath...Cool Cool;.. Before the glue had a chance to get hold snipped the line as close to the deck as possible. Finally using a damp cloth pushed the line flush with the deck and removed any excess glue.... Happy with how it looks and it doesn't look over scaled....don't think the pics show it too well... Will carry on with it tomorrow but may be into the weekend before its finished.... Cool Cool

Happy building all

Regards

Alan

Very nice work AlanCool I am wary of using fishing ling for treenails because it doesn't sand well,but your technique gets around that.

Thanks Nigel, I was aware fishing line doesn't sand too well so would only really use it where I know you can drill and pass it all the way through.. Wouldn't use it anywhere else apart from decking.....Cool Cool

Started work on fitting the forecastle and quarterdeck. First thing to do was to remove the front 2mm of the forecastle deck to compensate for the bulkhead planking, did a dry fit and see I have a little little more to do but almost there.... Cool Cool
