Great Development - and she is looking very good
Only one short advise:
The deck planking in the hold would not have any butt joints - the planks are short enogh, that all the planks would have the full length - only as a hint, how the planking in the later kit would be? if it is only strips, than every model can make it how he want - if laser cut or marked, it should be corrected -> no butt joint pattern in the hold or lower decks

Hi Uwek, Thank you for pointing out, that is indeed a error made by the modeller of ours. The kit will be supplying strips instead of full laser cutted deck, so that won't be a issue.

Lower deck structure

External planking. We are likely not be using the timber we are using on this model for wales, it will either be ebony or pearwood, but I highly doubt that the ebony of that thickness would be very hard to be bent, so more likely it will be pearwood.

It looks like something went wrong over there... .
IMHO, a pity that beams and other parts are going to be sandwich-made. Perfect squared notches could have been milled on solid parts at 45 degrees, as D. Antscherl suggests in his monographs. A challenging effort, anyway.

Guess that is a decision of cost. These strips of the sandwich construction can be lasered instead of milled which is a big difference in cost.

Is the building jig plywood or MDF?
