First build - Halcon kit

Some folks here welcomed me nicely and asked me to share my progress....Here goes, progress as of today.
3 planks set.
Then I had bought some barrels to add and painted these and then jumped onto painting the cannons and anchors

I'm seriously enjoying the new hobby!

An update - Having trolled some of the advice here at the forum I have learned that I must pay more attention to details. My mistake here was to place the cannons on the trolleys the wrong way around.. This weekend I will see if the cold glue will forgive me and allow me to reverse orientation. Lesson learned = Do a lot more research!!!

Sunday 11 Jan Off and On
More planking

And from the stern

I'm going to do a bit of a change at the stern here.Im not happy to bend the planks in. My thoughts are to use some of the left over sheets and shape small pieces either side of the rudder and finish it that way.
My 2nd thought is to use small amounts of wood filler as caulking and paint the hull rather than leave the gaps looking uneven
