Corsair H.M.S. Enterprize Build Log

Still working on the inner hull planking as well as looking at the additional transom pieces.
I am pretty sure that I have figured out a way to install the additional pieces, but they will have to wait a little bit to get install because I can't get to it while the ship is in the construction jig. I am cutting them in half (already done) and will be able to insert them from the side. :)
Work continues, although not very fast. But, faster than it was in the past few months. :)

Great progress! Yeah, that's a common problem... 24 hours a day is just a travesty. At least 100 would be nice.
 
First, I want to thank all of you for continuing to follow my build even though it is going slow. I really appreciate you all being here and providing support and suggestions when needed !
I've gone as far as I can with the ceiling and thick stuff on the starboard side of the hull. I've done the lower ones on the port side as I was doing the starboard, but now I will turn the ship around so I can mirror what I have done onto the upper port side. I'm also not able to do the very stern pieces of these until I install the counter timbers which I have started taking a serious look at along with preparing some of the pieces for it. :)
