Best of luck And have fun. I’m currently completing the rigging on Esmeralda.

Did you plank the bulwark on the inside before gluing or just paint the inside?

I planked them before mounting them to the bulkheads. I’m not a fan of painted ships but that’s just a personal preference. Also, I probably should have heat bent the bulwark assembly prior to mounting them. I got it done but I think it would have been less stressful (mentally as well as physically) If they were pre-shaped prior.

Thats a great start, well done.

Thanks Bryian . Those are actually file photos. I’ve nearly completed the rigging but have been sidetracked with the Le Rochefort framing.

Great looking model!
You will find lots of guys here with lots of knowledge.
Some of us are a bit old but we still love our boats.
