H.M.S. Surprise (Beginning)


Yesterday and today I managed get the frame together and install the lower deck and planks. So all in all I think it's a good start.

Next comes the fun part in which I sand the frame work to the curvature of the hull. This allows proper installation of the hull planking and makes for an easier and smoother job.

In case anyone is wondering the woods used for this ship are Sapelly, Walnut Basswood, Boxwood and of course Plywood for the frame work.

Heavens! you are fast. This is the mechanical part of the assembly. Immaculately work. Good luck with the rest.
