Well, progress on the hull, pretty much the shape and planking was hoping for, and have started the deck with a redrawing of the deck planking from the Tuft, more of the bow planking is visable so far and have spent some time trying to shape the drawn planks into the nibbing strake a bit, even if is only drawn on, will show later, have now begun the tedious job of coppering, after laying out the rows that are planned with masking tape for a guide, slowly moving on the starboard hull starting aft and making slowly forward overlapping the thin foil copper a bit to make more even and scale size. The higher rows will be trimmed at the tape, and then can do the larger section above. Imperfections in the hull are visable but spent enough time fairing it so are acceptable to my eye. This technique I stole entirely from Peter Jaqueth's "Newsboy" at modelshipworld for the real thing on a wood hulled shipmodel.
