I've been able to spend a little time at the shipyard and have made minor progress....slow and steady, right?

Have quite a bit of cleaning, sanding to do. Amazing what I've learn in this process so far.

It's been a very busy year so far. I apologize for not posting before now, but I've gotten some work done over the past few months, here and there.
Inboard and outboard cover boards, port and starboard.

The first red was not deep enough, so this is the second application and It looks much better.

I'm catching up on entries now, since I only get an hour or so each week to work in the shipyard. The photos have occurred over the last 5 months. Thanks for your patience and support.

Starting the hull. I've seen others install the rail caps 1st, but with my history of breaking pieces, it decided to do those after the hull is complete.

I'm working on it by sections per the instructions, starting at the keel, then the wale line. I can already see what I would do differently on my next ship, but it will work out in the end.

Scott, when uploading photos, select full image, to make for larger photos online.
The thumbnail images are hard to view without having to click and open each one.
You can go back thru your posts and edit to increase size of photos for ease of viewing.
Work looks great, keep the info coming.

I don't usually add photos from my phone, I didn't know. I am editing now. Thanks much for the information.

Glad to be of some help, when I started the great admin team on the forums helped me a lot!
I learned about posting and searching on SoS and I have also learned a great deal of info on ships themselves and building them as well.
One can spend hours a day online, and end up with less time to build if not careful.
