Thanks Dave for looking in and the positive comments... Will be very interested to see how the instructions to your build have the stern..... To me it is an iconic part of her profile and think it is such a shame the mantua version really left this area with simply a rounded stern.....  Regards Alan

Yes it is a tricky job, in fact it has been a bit of a pig but think these changes are so worth while..... Thanks again and regards Alan

Stern shaping continues with work on the starboard side and have now got through the transition up towards the keel..... Now very confident when the second planking phase is complete the final shaping will be of an acceptable standard.....  .. Next job will be to work on the port side to match......

A masterpiece in the making here Alan! The lines of the stern are really coming together and it's well worth all that chopping and changing you put into her. I must admit though, when I first saw the photos of the entire hull I was going to suggest that you double checked the box top to make sure sure it was the Titanic - I was beginning to suspect you'd got a "Build a full sized Inuit Kayak" kit by mistake!! Well done and a real beauty!

Thanks Robin and your very positive comments are very much appreciated.... .. An Inuit Kayak...  Couldn't agree more.... I do know if I had simply carried on as instructed then this build would never be finished, I would have hated it that much..... At least by having a go I end up with something I can live with, it may not be 100% but won't be far off.... Am so pleased I decided to do what I have done...... Thanks again... Regards Alan

Well today I decided to leave the SOTS alone and concentrate on finishing off the stern profiling.... This has been a bit of a pig of a job but am happy now I at least have the stern looking like the stern should look.... The rest of the planking should be fairly straight forward from here on in and the final shaping of the stern will be carried out when the second layer of planks are applied..... .. I'm a happy chappy now..... Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):

Lovely work again Alan! The lines and curves of the stern are really paying off all that extra effort. That last photo is very reminiscent of what the crowds on the docks would have seen as the old girl left Southampton with all the streamers flying and bands playing. Nicely done!

Robin Thanks for looking in and the positive comments Robin..... If nothing else, I will be able to live with the stern now, at least it's a closer resemblance to the real thing compared to the instructions..... .. Thanks again and regards Alan

Its a big improvement Alan. I think you have done a top job on reshaping that stern well done to you Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

The stern shape looks fab Alan, you have really got the look of the real thing captured, and it seems that is down to your skill rather than the kit so congrats to you Steve

Thanks again and regards Alan
