So many great details in your build. Having the gammoning knee less thick than the gammoning piece and main lacing piece is a detail missed more often than not and a treat to see it done properly. Kudos!

Hopefully start modelling again soon, so I thought I’d take a look at what the friezes and QG looked like on the model.

Work on Portland has restarted beginning Chapter 3, all of the bulkhead extension support pieces were cut out and fairing of the inside hull has begun, this will take a few messy days to complete.

Wonderful craftsmanship and she's gorgeous! I have so much to learn and so many kit choices to explore!

A couple of days later and the interior hull is sanded and faired, now for the quarter galleries.

Hi Ben,

Great progress, do you think JJ is starting a blog here now msw is down?

MSW s back up again and JJ is putting his build log back on there at the moment.

Starboard QG adjusted and test fitted with 2 screws to hold it in place, needs minor tweaking.
