HMS Beagle - Occre by TedR

Yes, it's just like you say, sand down the bits with the orange x-marks so they blend into the keel part..... On the paper instructions, on sheet D, the third photo along gives a reasonable idea of how to fair those blocks at the stern. (You need to remove so much material that it's better to sculpt it with a hobby knife to start with.)
I wish I'd taken more photos of my build as I went now!

Thank you

If you sand too much, it will become obvious when you lay a plank atop that bulkhead, but no biggie. Just add scrap pieces of wood to build up the low bulkhead and fill in the gap, fair your built-up bulkhead(s) until the loose fitted plank shows a nice fit, then proceed as usual. This might change the geometry ever so slightly, but who cares. Nobody will ever know but 'you'!

Got it. I'll post a photo when I finish.

I'm working on the stern. When I go to install the second plank it is jumped in the middle from the false keel. Should I glue it in place.like.thisnthen sand.thebresulting plank or grind down.the keel first

Sand the keel down first so that plank lays flat, and makes a nice smooth continuous run with that first plank.

Has there been any further news on your wife? No doubt the doctors are doing "some more tests". We're all hoping for some more positive results.

We're going for a cat scan Friday morning. We had to go to Lancaster CA to get it this week. One million illegal.aliens were dumped into los Angeles county by.the previous administration. Getting medical services for natural citizens is difficult.
