Did a bit this morning the first section laid down, hasn't got to be brilliant as there is another layer of planks but tried to get it as smooth as possible.

Brian,
Fascinating build to follow along, i know nothing about ships at all, but watching you build this Leviathan has been an education. Carry on sir i shall come along for the rest of the build.
 
I'll prob loose this post but hey :smiling3:

Reminds me of the Russel Crow film when the young seaman produced a skeleton of the French adversary, (Acron), they were hunting and the comment reads ship design.
Great detail Bri, Where you going to put the golden rivet then?

A bit of an update progress is slow, but then I knew it would be and it's far from easy but I'm enjoying it and trying not to bugger it up by rushing :)

All looking very good Brian. Your approach to this is spot on. Take time, take care, be patient. I have no doubt it will be a stunning model when complete.

A bit more progress .....not a lot due to me being stressed over a washing machine door failure and the resulting flood in the kitchen causing the living room floor to blow and lift, not long put it down :( anyway enough moaning lol
