HI Sam More or less made the same mistake, Work around it. How you have the work around looks pretty good I realized very soon after taping the lower wales on and making the other parts, so could change it....but do what ever you feel happy about, . Re-looking at the picture. you could always get a few strips of 1x1 (part 62) and put it on both side of the lower wales blend it it i think that's what i would do. .Darn it... ""work around"" always works for me Rich

After a lot of online reading and searching I have made the 3rd attempt at the head rails bits. Used the wife hair straighteners, dipped the wood in water for a minute or two, repeated until the curves matched the drawing. I don't think that came out to bad at all, condescending. after looking at these pictures im going to spend the next few days cleaning up the paint work. (somehow) looks good the light i have

Hi Sam, Some times it can be a challenge just to sit there all day or night, only if the wife is at work really, but then again at times even if she is here, Although it costing me a small fortune in 1000pc Jigsaws, to occupy her, we also have a 9month old beagle pup. and he is hyper most of the time.. just like a young child, So know what you mean.. Hows the build,?? Rich

Well sat down last night watched Avengers Assemble and made the poop deck hand rails. Sam, I found the rudder a little fiddley, as I needed to cut the pins down in size to pin the hinges in place, but they kept on disappearing. LOL

Hey Shawn, Nice to see you back, I did reply before the big crash. Yes i use the 0.4mm x 6mm strips for the second layer, If I remember you asked about the stem. I did place this before i planked the first layer but then removed it filled it with the same side wood i use on the first layer, then put it back on, sanded the hull to fit to a good point, (sanded the entire hull to a smooth finish, then layered the second layer up to the stem, to keep the nice cut shape. hope this makes sense, if not let me know Regards Rich

Last few days been playing with the lower wales, and when i mean playing, getting a little stressed. placed them, taped them, got up Friday before work about 0630, tea in hand, stopped looked at the box, back at the box realized, that i had not placed it in the right place, Darn it!!. Stripped it off before work using my caliper Micrometer, measured of the drawing and i was out in the middle by a few mm. did make a difference. I did notice that the water way would be covered before i moved the Lower wales, But now they show again, Whats best to try and hide them?

Well this week Im on call, so just have to sit down do a little bit as I might get called out, I have managed to start the gallant rails. All though i had to take them off again as the 2x2mm strips x3 each side needed to cover rough tree timbers, but was not that level to the edge the upper wales. Ill sand that and re paint. once the glue drys tomorrow ill up load a picture or two. before i sand it.
