    Beautiful work Bob.

    I am glad you found a solution to your problem. The pictures in the original post did not show the twisted transom, but I can see it in the first picture in the above post. You have done an excellent job on building this model. For 12a, I believe you are correct in the beveling of the inside frames. The bevel should be pretty much parallel to the plank attached to it, This is why frame #3 does not require much of a bevel as the frame sits at the midpoint of the model. For step #13, my interpretation of the instructions is to put a small, possibly a 1/8" strip to cover all of the joints where the planking is glued to the stem. Looking straight on, the stem will look solid. Soften the edges of this strip after installation and it will look very nice. Good luck on your build as you are on your way to building a very good looking model.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Bill. Many of the kit build logs are tagged "First Build". The tags are located under the title of the build log and if you click on the tag, it will list all of the first builds by members. You can check them out and see what other first time ship modeler are building. This may help you find a model that you like and is suitable to your skills.

    You are off to a good start on your Dory. This is an excellent kit to get started in building wooden ship models. There are also some excellent build logs by beginner ship modelers for this model.

    Good job on the planking. The Sapele veneer looks really nice. The wood filler was a good match as you cannot see where it was applied.
