That thing is pretty good sized.
Pray tell what kit that is, and what scale it is.
Great progress happening.
Carry on sir....

Hi all I know I shouldn't yet but I wanted to see how she would look when sanded down so had a quick go. I know still Leeds a bit of filling in places but I'm really chuffed how it looks at the moment.    |

Looks amazing so far, the varnish really does wonders for the grain.

So far so good I think, no reason why it shouldn't continue to be 'plain sailing' rolling

Ha ha I'm dreading the rigging (mind you that's probably a yr or 2 away. Hi all, sooo close    Shaping the planks to fit the ever narrowing spaces (scharf joints I think their called ) is a very slow job (and each one is a different shape) but it is surprisingly satisfying when they finally fit. |

Beautiful work Ken, the stern must have been pretty awkward to get to lay flat but you make it look easy

Hi all well I'm on to the gunwale covers (why they are called that I dont know, they cover nothing have nothing to do with guns and what wale's are I've no idea) anyway I've made a jig to get all the holes in the same place.  Drilled all 52 holes Gunwales installed    Bit annoyed with the instructions (and myself for not checking) they tell you to drill 52 holes @ 1.5 mm but the brass wire they supply is only 1 mm |

Well shes got a name on her now, I feel shes looking like a ship now and with the lines on the side the proportions are looking better (I did think without them she was looking slab sided)   |

That is awesome Ken.
I guess it's a bit tedious drilling all those holes, but now is when all the little details will really come to life.
Really great stuff sir.

Great work Ken, kind of a shame in one way to paint it but that is how it was I suppose.
