I just followed the line on the plan. The first piece #22 was easy. I have my videos on this installation if you wish to take a look. Its at the stern that i really struggled.

I follow the art of boat building as well and you are right. What i find so interesting is that we follow as much as we can, the same techniques in model building. Sometimes it so hard to see the techniques but in full scale it becomes so obvious . kevin

When you dont know what you are doing you can purchase all sorts of useless crap on line. I purchased the gauges along with the portable valves (just to cover my donkey) to set up the Chinese knockoff of the Smith Little torch. The oxygen worked fine but when i tried to connect the gas gauge (LPG) there was no local supplier that could accommodate me with the CGA 200 connection on the gauge. Then i went to at least 10 different wielding suppliers and non could help me find an adaptor. Thank goodness i purchased the small bottle valves. eventually i was able to hook up a medical oxygen bottle ( of which i have 2) to the Bernzomatic gas and got it to work. A real pain in the donkey

I like it. I tried to do this with one of my models the Naparima. The problem is that after installing it the string did not work and i could not retrieve it to get it fixed. You might want to think about how you can retrieve it if it need to be serviced. kevin
