Thanks guys. The last building sessions were a lot of fun even though the planking material for the launches wasn't very cooperative, I think the launches turned out fine in the long run.

Up to building phase 65 now



Almost done with the first planking. There's a single planking session left to do.



The first launch is finished...



... while the second awaits its completion.

Just a short in between out of the schedule update, because I actually am quite proud of this result.

Both boats are done now.



This also means I've catched up to the official build. Hope there's no surprises coming up because so far the official build has been immensely helpful in those rare "Wait a second, this doesn't make sense" moments.

Excellent. I just laid down the last full-width plank myself, so now I "just" have to close up the holes. Feels a bit unreal actually approaching the end of the first planking after all this time we spent on it.

67:
Finally finished first planking of Soleil Royal. All the holes filled up and the hull completed (from a general shape of things point of view) . This is a bit rough still, so I'll be spending the easter holidays and beyond, sanding and filling and resanding until it is all a smooth uniform surface. Then it's time to start the second planking with walnut veneer.

I've started to refer to the ship as "The Pregnant Cow" when she's not listening.

At stage 70 now and officially at the half-way point after about 9 months of work.

Of course the real work load is coming in the last issues, so that's a bit self-delusional.
