That's a curious way the ship was built, will have to look up this type of construction, very interesting. What type of wood is used for the planks?
Planks are pine. That's what the kit says. Have strong Orange lines.

Me neither ....
Gennaro.... I do not think I am doing a great job.
I just did my first mistake !!!!!
And I will have to live with it.
I started to glue the side wall from stern to the bow. And Have to be in the other way.
I saw in the picture that we have to use pieces 3-03 and 3-04. I finished gluing the Stern section, so I looked for the 3-03 parts, found them and glued. Then move forward to the bow. As I was approaching the last 2 wall pieces..... I saw I did a mistake.
My mistake was in not reading the text. That clearly state "the last piece on the Stern need to be cut to size".
I solved the issue by cutting the las piece of the wall leaving the gun port in the middle.
For the non-expert in turtle ships, it will go unnoticeable.
At least the Admiral has the gun port, but just in a shorter wall....
For those who plan to build this ship.... please learn from my mistake and do not repeat it.
Cheers

Ps: I need to add that the chief builder was executed on the spot and his head now is hanging on a stick as an example for others...

Wouldn't spot this in million years. Rough crowd in Korean shipyard. My custodian beats up the chief builder with that mace on a regular basis, but no executions so far.Still looks good to me!
I can't stop laughing!!!
FOR THOSE WHO WANT MORE HISTORY ON THE TURTLE SHIP, THERE IS A MEUEUM IN SOUTH KOREA THAT HAS MODELS DISPLAYED AND A HISTORY OF THE TURTLE SHIP JUST CAN NOT REMEMBER THE NAME, I THINK THE TURTLE SHIP WAS USED IN THE WAR WITH KOREA AND JAPAN NOT SURE. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE ALL DON
