HM Cutter Alert 1777 [COMPLETED BUILD]

I have begun the deck planking. Basswood planks in the photos are temporary, I am using them as templates for preparing the margin planks.

I am using them as templates fur preparing the margin planks.

Good idea - I am looking forward to see the final result with the "correct" final planking

While I was waiting for the hornbeam strips I ordered for the deck planking I painted below the waterline white. I am not very knowledgeable in painting, nor I am good at it. I don't like putty and sandpaper job at all, so I always chose unpainted models before.
There are a few points that I need to touch up.
