Hi Dave, this is the modifications I made for the hull extension and deck chamfer. The drawing is typical for all bulkheads.

OK DOC TIME TO POOP, I HAVE HAD A BAD WEEK WITH KNEE SWELEWING LOT OF PAIN INCLUDING A PIA, HOPEFULLY GETTING BETTER SO I CAN GET BACK TO MODELING 1/2 HULL AND HARBOR DREDGE. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE ALL DON
 
The aspen worked well for the deck planking, the strips were a little fuzzy coming off the saw I used 320 grit sandpaper to clean off the fuzz it was fast and easy. A few deck items will be added before the treenails. This is the progress photos.

Good looking deck. I love he cannon. MikeJ
 
Thanks Mike, I made the cannon to check for clearances in the gunports, looks like they will be fine. I will be adding the guns to the model.

I found this that's talk about cutters of that time, was an Act of 1784, stating sail configuration and no more 2@ 4 pounders to avoid seizure. This came from my book, "Fast Sailing Ships" by David MacGregor.

Ken, Very interesting. I wonder why the plans show all the gun ports then? Unless they were looking to the future or were they squaire rigged on a top mast?
 
Thanks Mike, I take great pride in my shoes lol. I was going to use 4 pounders, but they looked too small, the mockup is a 6 pounder will go with that. I need to finish this project and my Ontario cross section I have been working on it off and on for two years.

Hi Don, sorry about your knee I have had problems with right hip and both knees but am trying keep the original parts as long as possible lol. I think Dave will join the group soon he has a lot of spare time on his hands and needs something to do.

Hi Ken, according to Chapman’s book she carried 12 @ 3-pounders, I will use XL 3-pounders lol.

Hi Ken, the book is Architectura Navalis Mercatoria. The classic of Eighteenth-Century Naval Architecture by Fredrik Henrik AF Chapman the ship is on plate LX.
 
I spent all morning adding a waterway that will probably not be noticed. Since I did not do a particularly good job smoothing the filler between frames, I used a contour gauge and ship curve to make patterns. This is some progress photos.
