Hi,
after finishing my Polaris yesterday I can't wait to build the Buccaneer. Let's see if I learned something in the first build.
First step: Dry fit of the bulkheads and deck parts. Everything looks fine.
Step A:
Glueing the bulkheads to the false keel in a right angle with the help of bricks.
Parallel to this I already started with the planking of the first deck. When putting some planks together to blacken them with a pencil I notices one plank with a different size and removed this.
I cutted the planks in the correct length with my new (wonderful) cutter and glued the planks on the deck. I used contact glue, like I did it at the Polaris, as this worked fine for me.
I really tried hard to halve the deck...but not 100% Room for improvement for the third ship?
The result after the first building day:
