Billings Nordkap , Fun Build

(1/9) > >>

Baldrick:

While waiting for my next project I have been keeping busy with the Nordkap.  Have the hull half planked now and feel I have got over the worst bit of worrying if the planking will be my nemesis. To be honest I found the hull worked out with quite nice planking lines , a minimal amount of trimming of planks and no stealers as yet , getting to the point of coating the inside with resin before I close it up too much. The instructions do leave a lot to the builders imagination and you do need to do quite a bit of forward thinking to avoid ending up the proverbial backwater.  {:-{
 Don't think I will be going the full monty on this one, probably try selling it when I have finished building which for me is the interest

Baldrick:
Looking at it from the pointy end

Baldrick:
And a view of the deck , now planked and finished with 2 coats of sanding sealer, need to rub this over with fine steel wool to matt it. Also  need to fit a stooling for the heel of the mast before I close the sides in.

Baldrick:
A bit of a close up to follow when I can get it to work !

Baldrick:
another go.
