Managed to complete planking the first side in between all the family festivities . Far from perfect needs some sanding and shaping around the bow ,
but far better than I expected my first attempt to turn out . Now time to see if I can put what I've learned to good use and improve on the other side.

Started to plank the second side and already benefiting from lessons learned and mistakes made on the first side. Tackled the little deck hut? while the glue sets
the most fiddly patience tasting thing I have tackled so far !.

The planking looks really good to me, especially as it is your first time planking model boats.
I know how this was like as I struggled with my build.

Further update , Hull given a second coat of stain ,Transom and Rudder fitted plus a bit more added to the deck.
Hopping to complete the build only using what's been supplied in the kit , with the probable exception of the rigging cord.
finish the deck fittings and anchors next , then maybe the cannons.

s and ropes fitted , time to tackle the Cannons.
I can relate. . Our club picked up several of these for a group build. I am just starting on it this coming Sat (Jan 7) and using it for a kit to teach a friend the real basics of ship building. I also get him the Armed Virginia Sloop kit for Christmas.
