Thanks! It’s a lot of fun! My granddaughter even tried it. Lucky it has a rubber tip to put on the front of the bow, as she did hit the wall.
But both the boat and my tile survived! So it worked!

Well, now I am really worried about your NL and tiles, 
at least make sure you get rubber tips: both stem and stern...you never know. Now she got the taste of a floating boat...

You need the Geico gecko on board 
Look who woke up! Boy was he mad! He thought I would be further along on the ship. 
So I did a little antique effects on him. I convinced him people respect elders.
That might buy me a little time.

You are a good lion tamer, Dean. And make it clear to him that he should be proud of his appearance and how he is cared for.Look who woke up! Boy was he mad! He thought I would be further along on the ship.

Your antiquing effect added nice depth to his character Dean.
How happy would you be if you had a stick in your...
No no Paul, you have to look better. He has is BETWEEN his legs. Just practice for later.
Thank you Daniel, that was the intent.
I may do a little more. I basically did a wash and some dry brushing highlights afterwards. But I have to be careful I don't do too much.

But.... that doesn't look much like a Norske Lowe?Today I finished planking the hull! Now to sand it and finish the keel, and the white paint below the water line.
But I decided to reward myself with some play time. Got a pool toy!

Does that mean you cracked up?
Good afternoon Dean. So good to have the Lion out of his cage. Even with a stick up his butt he must be pretty cuffed with his new appearance. I had a good laughLook who woke up! Boy was he mad! He thought I would be further along on the ship.

at this thread. Cheers Grant
Thanks Grant! I am currently working on the lower hull and adding the lower wales. Will post an update soon.Good afternoon Dean. So good to have the Lion out of his cage. Even with a stick up his butt he must be pretty cuffed with his new appearance. I had a good laugh
Granddaughter caught me working with phone camera!
So hello from the workbench or table…lower wales going on today…then I can paint black below that to the top of the white water line.

Thanks Pter! I’m not sure about the master part!Concentration is written all over your face... nice pics of the master at work.
Lower wales are on. Letting them dry before moving forward. Have some sanding to do in a few places and then paint. Soon I can mark all of the cannon ports.
Right after gluing on the wales, I come back with a blade to scrape any glue that has squeezed out and will potentially prevent the wood from taking stain properly. I do this before the glue sets up and it scrapes off easily.
Wales are on both sides. I measured the full scale plans and ensured I marked their location height wise and made a few pencil marks for reference. Then I just let the board follow the curve of the deck.
Happy modeling!
