Made a start, never used the internal braces but impressed. Drilled portholes, joined half's and test fitted deck. Will need a bit of filler at the bow and stern but not much

I'll join you all in the front row if I may, and I will even bring my own cake.Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.Comment

Hull looks spot on Bob. Hope the rest goes together as well.Comment

Thank you all for the interest and support.
Fitted the deck, added filler on the bow, going to leave the seam under the hull no one will see it. Added prop shafts but not the rudder

Had to trial fit the wood deck to see if I had to fit the blocks of superstructure first, which I have
Next a photo shows the upper deck sitting loosely on top, a row of guns sit on top of this deck. With another deck on top. will have to build in stages to paint and fit guns before the upper deck

Sorry problems back had enough, first attempt ok, then tried to edit, went nuts, the photos vanished, with that stupid box back. The photos appear to download but flash up then vanish. Have spent ages but enough is enoughComment

That’s a shame Bob. I have been looking forward to seeing this come together, it was a great period of ship design.Comment
