HMS Endeavour
The first
stage after assembling the frames to the keel is to fit the plywood decks upon
which the deck planks will be laid. After gluing all the deck planks, “nails”
were fitted which consisted of 0.6mm brass wire installed into holes drilled
into the plank ends.
The finished
model will be mounted on pillars on a baseboard so 6mm threaded inserts were
fitted to the keel to allow for 6mm machine screws to be inserted from
underneath the baseboard, through the pillars and into the keel.
The first
planking commenced on the hull.
