. . .


Still planking . . seems to take forever!!


Finally, second planking completed on the port side, ready for coppering.
On the down side I still have the starboard side to finish but I think I'm winning.


Spent some time planking & painting inner bulkheads on the main deck. Finished & painted maindeck gunports.

Second planking completed. Next will be the hull's copper plates.


Copper plates being attached to the hull, heading for the waterline.


Using a highly sophisticated tool to mark the waterline . . ..


The copper plating is progressing, slow but sure, if I don't go cross-eyed first.


Moved my operation indoors where it's warmer.


Warning of things to come.


Port side copper clading done. I am going to install a black 2x2mm batten to terminate the copper along the waterline.


. . .


Finally!! The body of the hull is coppered.


Applying the finishing touches of copper to the keel & posts.


The rudder is the last of the copper cladding. Yeah!!


Currently working on the Quarter Galleries.


It's hard to stay indoors on a day like this.


Port side Quarter Gallery almost finished.
