Thanks Robert and Tom. There is a Hobby Lobby nearby so I'll go see what they have. -
I finally finished the forward section and also added the davits to the stern. I had to do some modifying of the rails to get the davits to fit snugly on top of the rails and therefore ruined my perfect paint job. The davits are kit supplied parts. The next thing I planned on doing are the stanchions and netting on top of the rails. I can see that there is netting there on the plans and box pictures but no netting in the kit? hmmmmm? So what do I do about that? I might have to do something else while I think about that. The forward section. Knees and rails in place with the fairleads on top of the rails. First side in. Both sides in. The final product.

Kinkos can probably do that for you. They can also print the large plans

Thanks Kmart. Its been a long time since I painted the carriages and I'm not sure but I think it was this one: https://www.hobbylobby.com/Art-Supplies/Painting-Supplies/Acrylic-Painting/Alizarin-Crimson-Academy-Acrylic-Paint---2.5-Ounce/p/62135 or this one: https://www.hobbylobby.com/Art-Supplies/Painting-Supplies/Acrylic-Painting/Burnt-Sienna-Master's-Touch-Acrylic-Paint---4.1-Ounce/p/8396

kit review USS Missouri (or any Iowa class) 1/350 by Joy Yard

wow. impressive kit. -
Welcome to MSW

Glad to hear that was helpful for you. I started to cut it from a sheet but I realized that since most of the plank runs straight that this way made more sense.

Thanks Geoff.

Thanks Jeff.

I've completed the forward top gallant rails. A look at the method I used. I used some painters tape and a pencil to get the shape of the rail. I transferred that to a piece of card stock and cut it out. I glued 3 pieces of planking stock together and traced the shape of the curve onto the stock and then cut it out with the scroll saw. After that it was just a matter of bringing it to the final shape with an exacto and various sanding implements. The final result. The next step is to finish up the bow area. As you can see its unfinished here so the first step is painting and then the top rail. I nearly missed the fact that there is a set of knees that go here also.

Right on. Major milestone there. -
I can't answer all of your questions but for number 2, as many as necessary. I usually do 3 coats. Question number 4, yes. I did so over primer on my Constitution with no problems.

Looking good. How do you like the admiralty paint. It looks like it brushes very well.

Welcome to MSW. I agree with Mark. Try cutting a new one.
