verry good start Robert :)

 

next make sure to check the placement of the 2 rooms as you will notice one of them doest fit in the slots of the deck. whatever way you go (extend the room or remove the part that fits in the slot) you need to check when you add the next deck because it wil not line up properly

I have checked the slots and correct it.

I can not believe such a thing never changed by the KIT builder. :( :(

Hi Robert,

 

Welcome to the wonderful world of MSW.

You have notice it all ready that when you have a question, just ask.

There are always members to help you…..

As far i can see it now you are doing great job on your paddle steamer.

Take a look at Adrieke his build log.

He is a great help !

Make sure that you measure twice and cut once…..

I will send you a PM.

Are you giving it a layer of varnish?

And what kind of varnish are you using?

I use yacht varnish and that makes it darker.

When you have do the whole deck, maybe I'm gonna use that for my Aggy when I'm at that stage ( In a couple of years…. :D  :D  :D  :D )

It's Nelsons favourite ship so I have to use that Nelson varnish !

Another couple of pictures, I have the body covered with hull lining strakes and the keel fitted.
 
Now just paint the hull and then can be the first deck posted.
