Frigate Chapter Three: Gun Deck Bulwarks
I was a little surprised at the wood
choice for the next stage as it is the same wood used for
the inner planking layer of the outer hull. I considered
briefly the possibility of painting the plank red before
gluing to prevent paint getting on the deck when painted but
having searched the instructions thoroughly could not find
any reference to this section being painted. You would have
to consider the chance of any of this actually getting seen.
The
planks were easy enough to place though sanding was a bugger
between the bulkheads and the upper plank between these did
not have much to hold onto and so is at risk at later stages
of between knocked out of place when the outer hull is being
concentrated on.
