Work has commenced on the fiddly tail wheel assembly. I can foresee some stability issues with this structure once the wheel has to bear the weight of the finished model, so I plan to incorporate some judicious stiffening with CA. The interior portion of the wheel well will only be partially visible if the viewer were to turn the model over while viewing it -- which would of course subject the viewer to the very real possibility of physical harm at the hands of the model's irate builder!

Wow! Looks great!

Congratulations on completing a very colorful and visually engaging model!

That's an adjacent country -- close enough? 🤔😂

I agree, but definitely save it for another scene -- it looks awesome!

Same here!

Welcome back, Paul!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard! Your pram looks great. I also love the "pre-cutted frames" in the Amati kit. In case you didn't know already, that kit represents a Tancook whaler, a type native to the US Northeast. A now-defunct company called Freedom Song Boatworks made a kit of one years ago that is even more primitive than the Amati version. I did a review of it here. Cheers!

Nice! This is obviously a bit more detailed then what we ask 6th graders to build!
-
I would be interested to see what this looks like when you get it set up. I write science textbooks, and we just included a marble run STEM lab in our 6th grade product.

Go to the signature editing pane. Click and highlight everything between the red arrows. Hit 'delete'. Easy-peasy.

This tag was used inconsistently and fell by the wayside some years ago. It would take far too much effort to retrofit it to all of the smallcraft builds that have been undertaken since then.

You cannot copy & paste your build log link directly into the signature pane. You need to type the name of your subject, then highlight the text and use the link tool as mentioned above.

Welcome aboard! Your model looks great so far!

One more fuselage section added. The fit between the two sections was extremely tight -- too tight, in fact -- the result of not adequately beveling the aft-most cockpit frame. While wracking my brain about how to fix this, a 'new' idea popped into my head, except it's probably not new, since our Polish friends have likely thought of this already. It occurred to me that the frames are made of pulp board (duh), and pulp board can easily be deformed. So, using the flat end of a pair of tweezers, I simply burnished the offending parts of the cockpit section until the aft fuselage section fit properly. We're talking about only a tiny amount of deformation needed to do the job, and it worked a treat. You may recall I was worried earlier about some possible registration errors between sections as a result of not getting the cockpit skin aligned 100% correctly on this port side, but I'm very happy with how well the two sections have gone together. Overall I am very pleased with how this kit has gone together so far. The next part of the build takes us to the fuselage section that houses the tail wheel well, so there is a bit of framing and other structural work to be done. Cheers!

Moin, Herbert. You can either edit the original post using the built-in editing feature (click the three dots, then select 'edit' from the drop-down menu -- see attached), or you can simply add the English text in a separate reply.

An eagle-eyed member alerted me to this build log being in the wrong sub-forum, but it is all fixed now!

Whatever works -- sandpaper, files, but mostly emery boards.
