  1. Boyd, thank you for your comment, I appreciate that. My mind was running the same track as what you said about using strips of Lime. I also am thinking of making a pattern and print on a some sheets of Balsa or Bass wood then cutting them out by hand. I also don't like using Acetate, what would be a better material ? Again thank you for your help. One other comment on the Billings for anyone starting the build. Bulkhead # 7 slot in bottom of this bulkhead was not cut deep enough (3 mm short) didn't find the problem until installing the main deck, nothing was lining up took some time to figure out, you can imagine the problem that caused, cutting out all the glue joints to get the bulkhead removed !!!

    Stern taffrail

     

    I decided to have a break from the planking and so had a go at seeing if my small-scale painting was going to be any good. The taffrail that comes with the kit is a piece of naff ply and so I bought the cast one from CMB. Very pleased with how it came out.
