Build Log: Port Jackson Schooner

Well crap!!!

I finished the hull planking, overall I was pretty happy with it, but there were some areas on the bow and stern that needed some work.

I mixed up a little fill using wood glue and sawdust, but I kind of screwed up the recipe and it discolored the wood. I tried fixing it but I'm pretty much beating a dead horse here.

I'm going to get some mahogany colored Timbermate, fill all that in and then just jump to the deck furniture and rigging so I can get some practice with that while I search for a second model.

Live and learn. :)
