Wow, did not realize that it has been over a year since I last posted anything. I have done some work on the Longboat and will post some pictures after the Christmas rush is over.
Chuck, I hope your mother-in-law is doing better. I hope 2018 will be better for you and Patty.

Be sure that the forward edge of the garboard strake starts about 1/8'' forward of the scarph joint. I feel this strake is the most important of the strakes to be installed. I found out the hard way after installing three bottom strakes that my garboard strake was too far forward. I had to remove them and start over. You are coming along nicely on your build.

Congratulations on getting the barge kit almost ready to market. This is going to be an awesome kit for any ship modeler to build. The design of this kit will make us look like expert ship modelers when we build it. I know you will be stuck in your shop trying to keep up with the demand.

Wow, that is nice. You will be able to do some serious modeling in your new workshop. I cannot wait to see it when you move all of your modeling tools back in. I am also looking forward to seeing the models you will be building as you turned out some highly crafted models out of your old workshop.

Congratulations on finishing your Phantom. You did an excellent job on building this model. You also accomplished what a lot of first time model ship builders never do and that is to finish your first ship model. I am looking forward to following your Philadelphia build log.

Thanks Chuck, Steve, B.E, John and Dave for your words of encouragement. I also appreciate the “Likes” and those that have looked in on my build log. I hope everyone has a Happy New Year and I look forward to finishing this model in the near future.
Over the past year, I have added the printed friezes and the molding strip. I still need to paint the edge of the cap rail and molding strip white, but will wait till I am almost finished handling the model. I painted the waterline using Badger White and was dissatisfied with the color. The white had a grey hue to it and I did not like it, so I painted over it using Model Master Acrylic flat white. I am real happy with this color as it looks good with the white in the printed friezes. I brushed the paint using Chuck’s technique of using water thin coats of paint.
