Tamaya tape you can get it at hobby lobby in the scrap booking area thin and doesn't leave a residue plus it doesn't allow bleeding when painting

Ok I have a problem with the instructions in that they have you place the planking on the main deck then flip the boat over to do the hull simply because the deck is curved and it gives a weird lay on your work surface You either support the deck on towels or foam or risk breaking off the supports for your paddle wheel I used folded up hand towels Either way Next as you can see I began by soaking a section of the veneer at one end so that it bends instead of snapping when bending it at the stern With a light pressure you can glue the stern down and let it dry for a few minutes then lay it over and it forms a nice line Make sure you start with a strip down the absolute middle so that planking is even on both sides as you progress outwards Do alternating on each side Here she is in the early stage of planking Good luck right

Welcome back my friends Today I started on the main or first deck First thing I did was to coat the actual sides of the 5 mm strips of wood with a sharpie or permanent marker This simulates the tar sealant to make the decks water tight I measured each strip into 10cm sections Next I measured out on the deck 5cm sections along the length of the deck laying down the central strip I alternated the slats so they were offset by 5 cm here is how she is looking

Welcome After taking a week off for birthday and family in visiting I have progressed a little on this fine example of true Americana After placing the bulkheads and gluing them in place the bottom of the boat fit fairly nicely on Then I soaked the side panels of the hull in water for about 30 minutes and then pinned them into place I was actually surprised that there was very little sanding to be done After about 24 hours I was able to remove the pins and they held their shape making the glueing process very easy After letting the sides dry for a few hours I did a little sanding and attacked the first deck I couldn't find my claps since the move so I weighed down the middle with some heavy paint cans Seemed to work So here she sits at the moment

Sorry guys after a five month hiatus I am finally getting back to the old girl I'm at the point where all that is left is the shrouds and the rigging So I started the pains taking process of making the shroud line on my machine Slow since it isn't motorized Any ways I have the shroud lines ran on the lower middle mast My question to you all is should I do the rat lines or wait till I have all the shroud lines in place on the other masts Once again sorry for the long wait
