The upper deck were finished, the hanging knees will follow when the deck is glued in the hull (I thought about doing the deck removeable but that will not work unfortunately). That will be some fun ... haha ... not. I really

Then the Mortar were built and painted, all the metalwork will follow later. I also finished the Mortar Housing and decides to go like it is in the kit and the Goodwin Book.

Lot's of adjustments were necessary (Side Covers - I might redo them completely later) and some parts just don't fit (canopy planks - the laser kerf problem) or were wrong (inner Canopy Transom). Nothing will be glued, everything is removeable.

For the deck planking I will use (American) Holly and the planking will be removeable too.

Cheers

Dirk

Hi, Dirk-
As someone not new to modelling- but fairly new to ship modelling, I am stunned by the cleanliness of your work- and the lack of any visible glue runout... what kind of glue do you use- and how do you keep everything so clean??? Also, how are the nail holes done please
Wes

This is absolutely a STUNNING build!

Thanks for your kind comment Wes

I use wood- and ca-glue. On the other side of the deck it is not that clean :-D The Nail holes are lasered or drilled and filled with blackened brass rod.

cheers

Dirk
