the cutting of all the gunports are now finished..i am not framing the upper deck gunports yet i will wait and see what comes with the build parts as these will be seen from both sides...the planking is also sanded and is smooth and is ready to receive the second planking later in the build  cheers benny

Hi mate Great build so far. You've said about second planking - this build is single planked I'm afraid unless you doing second layer yourself. Keep it up. benny wrote:the cutting of all the gunports are now finished..i am not framing the upper deck gunports yet i will wait and see what comes with the build parts as these will be seen from both sides...the planking is also sanded and is smooth and is ready to receive the second planking later in the build

hi all been a while since my last instalment..i have been trying to complete the bottom hull planking this week but dont think i will finish so i thought i would take a few pics..as i am second planking i havnt been to fussy with getting the planks spot on,but just wanted to get them flat to the ribs and curves in the right places..my aim at the moment is to finish planking get it filled and sanded smooth before i concentrate on anything else  cheers benny
