Ford and aft cross bars added - next job the curved bars for both sides.

Turtly magic!

Turtly driving me up the wall with the curved side bars 

Top and bottom bars made and fitted to both sides of the ship - now for coffffeeeee and let the steam out of my room 

Cross bars fitted when dry and solid will give final smooth down to shape on the balsa - also fill in any bits missing then drill out the holes for the cannons.

Getting there.

Ford and aft top wood curved bars fitted and a start made on fitting the top sections of iron plates.

Rest of the top sections added to the ship. When dry and solid will clean up the edges and also mark on the plate shapes and drill out for the spikes on each plate.

There's a lot of work in this one.

It has kept me quiet and away from humans - so some good has come from it - yohoho

Roof cut to shape and the holes for the ships cannons drilled out.
Now to listen to the Liverpool match - come on the reds -yohoho

The 2 mast housings have been added as well as the 4 hatches for working the masts.  Before you say the masts are two long, it is just a test to get the correct angle.

Coming together nicely.

Seems very very slow to me - if I was Zak would have made about 6 of them by now Chris.

Yes, I'd have finished a similar number!
