[sevish]

Hello everyone,
Welcome back to another great build by me
This will be my third commission build on the Trtafalgar ships.
This bulild will feature :
leds addition
replacement of the threads to ropes,
the traditional yellow ochre and black stripes and not the evidential all in black ship by the British officers reports and under water line hull will be painted in white and not covered in copper like in the other builds.

Also in this build :
The cry for help
The sobbings
And the hundreds of hours of cursing.

And last but not least:
The big question mark how, 1250mm long old ship became 1180 mm long ship in the same scale?

Any way here's the box content:

In the follow up post the start of the keel build.

Cheers
Guy

The continuation
So after long week of thinking how to address this build i decided just to start with the traditional keel building as suggested in the instructions.



The first dry test fitting

The stern post beveling





And thestart of the bulkheads placement and gluing

Deck dry fit testing ,
Actually i did it with every bulkhead that i glued.




The first 6 bulkheads glued

An that's it for this time

Cheers
Guy

P.s.
WHY, WHY they didn't fixed also the false decks bulkheads openings ,alignment would heave been much easier like that...
