You're making an excellent start, and your centre section is coming along nicely too. I have a feeling that this will be a build to watch.

Hi all, Its been a while, finally got over this hurdle,what a nightmare. I am quite pleased with the way its turned out, makes you realise though how good Stedders & Co are . Bit stuck now don't know what colour , stain ,polish to use ? dont want to stain it a colour that looks out of place on the finished ship. Any idea what the dark areas are at the front ? dont want to sand through, think the very small dark ones are small holes, but the large mark seems to be in the wood ? Still got to put the 2nd planking on the top part before i remove from jig. I have done all my ribs, cant wait to get the deck in then i'll post more pics, will be having another go at the carronade and canon, puddening on me anchour etc.......more to follow soon.

Nice smooth finish on your launch PF, are you painting or staining? Cutting the planks down the middle seems a complicated way of doing things but a few have managed it and well! Not for me though. TIS

Yes,the centre section build looks good.Having seen what the cutaway looks like(not very detailed)I am thinking of getting the cross section instead & putting it in the same display case. Rob Nolli Illigitimi Carborundum!!!Current Builds: HMS Victory, SV Thermopylae
