Perfection personified Paul. “Triple P”. Impressive modelling and the differing colour wood is a feast for the eyes. Cheers Grant
Thank you, Grant. Perhaps not PPP but I'm doing what I can to create a suitably mundane background for the decorative bits to follow.
Inspirational. This model oozes commitment, skill, patience and care.
I'll see if I can find a salve for the oozing...
.(In truth, I appreciate the encouragement, Richard!)
No notifications here either! I see this is a periodic problem on the forum.
Planking looks phenomenal, Paul!
This is an issue I have experienced with SOS forever. Now that I’ve gone into my watched threads folder and pulled up Paul’s build, I may get the next update in my email folder, but none after that. No one seems able to explain why this happens.
Much appreciated, Mustafa. I like your work as well!
My finger is now sore liking/loving/laughing at all the posts in your thread this morning Paul. Fantastic work!
…… and that now brings up a request to Admin. We need a “gobsmacked” icon, not just one of those wimpy “love it” ones.

The owner of this beautiful expression is definitely Paul. He posted it in my log:My finger is now sore liking/loving/laughing at all the posts in your thread this morning Paul. Fantastic work!

And therefore it was my honor of using it as a quote in his blog as well. Credit where credit is due!
Regards, Peter
Ditto!
Hmm, worked my way through your superb log today. ( I'm in the "no notification group" also. Your skills are awe inspiring even with your "OLd Fingers" problem, mine are just a wee bit older than yours.

Thank you Roger and Jan - I think you guys might have burned out the like button on the website
. I appreciate your encouragement!
Thank you kindly, Gunther!Ahoy Paul,
That looks fabulous! I know this construction report and have already been there, and I'm staying there too... Beautifully executed!
I couldn't have done it better myself...
Work in progress #3.
This week brought the exterior hull planking to its conclusion. I still need to add nails and trenails as appropriate and then I'll complete the final sanding.
As I suggested earlier, a stern section model reveals the way the planking changes in thickness on a ship:
And a quick peak at what the interior now looks like:
Right now I am leaning in the direction of not planking the lower hull. This necessitated the installation of filling pieces between the frames along the top of the keel. These chocks were notched to allow a channel for bilge water. It would have been much, much easier to install these fillers at the time of framing...
Thanks for visiting!
