GORCH FOCK by Mantua

Well finally got a little time today to sand down the rest of the filler wood I put at the stern, and got some putty put on. And now on the phase of the build I dread the most. PLANKING. but it is really nice to finaly see her lines come out. 20220927_221118.jpg20220927_221244.jpg20220927_221133.jpg20220927_221232.jpg20220927_221212.jpg
 
Got in some solid work today. Was able to put on another row of planking. Got the stern wrapped with a couple planks before I need to throw some vertical planks on it. There some decking on the bow deck that goes around the bowspirte. Got the bowspirte shaped and tapered. And got the first sections of the foremast and mainmast cut to size. Made some notches in the bottoms of the masts so that when I install them there is only one way they can go, and boxed in where the masts sit in the frame. 20220928_144211.jpg20220928_144215.jpg20220928_144219.jpg20220928_144225.jpg20220928_144242.jpg20220928_144257.jpg20220928_144309.jpg20220928_144313.jpg20220928_144340.jpg20220928_163639.jpg20220928_163649.jpg20220928_163658.jpg

Hello Gibby, sorry if I allow myself this advice to avoid this weakness in this point (circled), I would advise you to finish the planking things differently to avoid problems of weakness (darts).

Nothing exciting just getting more planks put on. I am going to have to do some building up on the bow just under the deck. But once some putty and more wood to build it up youd never know the difference. Definitely has some great lines on her. 20220930_215034.jpg20220930_215044.jpg20220930_215053.jpg
