Hi everybody, here is an update of my progress building the soleil royal from Artesania latina. I put in already some wiring for the led lights which will be illuminating the officers quarters and also the decks were the canons will be placed. I ordered some extra wires because their wasn’t enough in the kit for what I wanted to do. Therefore I already sanded a part of the hull( 2 hours) I used filler and sanded again afterwards. Now I started putting on a part of the second planking. Until next time
 
Question, I attached 2 picture of my progress..But I do ‘ t see them when I post the message .do you see them? Here they say” image file typ is invalid. Although I made a pdf of my photo..someone has advice?
 
Can you tell how I can add photos to my message?ty
Yes, You can go into edit mode for the message you want to add them too. ( Edit link at the lower left if the message window) and click on it. Then you can click on the "Insert Image" icon "1784231451030.png" and it will open a window for you to insert the image. You can either drag and drop the image into the box, or you can just click in the box and then look through your directories to find the name of the picture file and click on the file name then click open at the bottom of the list of files.
Please note, these directions are for using Windows 11 and may vary slightly for other versions of Windows or other operating systems. :)
