Hi All,
Here it is my progress so far on my first wooden ship build ever.
A couple things right off the bat -- patience. If being patient was 10, I am typically at a 4, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to start this project.
So far my rushing has bitten me in the rear-end on a few steps.
Firstly, I rushed the planking, but holy moly towards the bow it gets quite challenging. I then thought I could repair the mishaps with the planking with wood filler & I used WAY too much. Sanding, sanding, & more sanding. I am almost at a point where I am decently happy with the hull.
I have some inconsistencies in the continuous smooth curve on the hull.
looking at some of the pictures I have attached, would you recommend double planking the hull? Or will primer & paint "hide" some of the inconsistencies.
ANY feedback (+ or -) is greatly appreciated!
thanks,
-Matt
