Just to let you guys have a look at where i am up to at the mo. Caught up a lot during the half term break which gave me more or less a week of intense building time, and most of my spare time now is spent with this frustrating but fascinating new found hobby.
There are some dubious bits, and I will be really glad when i have done with the planking, especially the bow and hoping that the lower hull will look okay when its finished. I would like to leave the lower hull as varnished but we'll see what the end product is like. Gotta keep telling myself this is my first wooden model and just keep trying.
Anyway, back to the grind of gun port framing, so many ports, so little time.

Looks good, as Benny say's, nice and tidy, keep it up.
