They go by size not by scale

I have now started on longest part of the build the planking and I have added the second hatchway along with a few other bits.
Planking good work Peter are you finding it hard to bend the planking on the bow ?. As when I build my ships on a scratch build hull I normally have to steam the wood to get it to bend whithout snapping

That looks really good Peter, I just keep going back and looking at the rigging :crying::crying:
The planks seem to be very forgiving as thy only need a quick soak.
Well that's good you doin a good job on her but as mick said oh that riggin will keep you busy oh boy
Rigging doesn't scare me as I still have my victory to finish it's finding a space Is going to be fun.
Well Peter how come you dint finish victory ? did it turn into a stalled build ?
chris
It's a semi stalled build as it's a summer time project as it a partwork as well it's on page two of this section

I do believe it's the outer planking.
Morning Peter,
I like the look of this, something completely different.
Do you have to steam the timbers to get them to conform?

Just a quick soak in cold water does the trick as the planks seem very forgiving.
