Well, I got impatient to get going (imagine that) so rather than wait around I fabricated the large winch drum from a small dowel.
Don't miss the brass since it is painted - just the primer coat now, will be green.
The closeup is of course somewhat unforgiving but overall looks good so forging ahead to finish the winch today.

Put on the cap rail, finished and installed the rudder, and dry fitted the pond boards, so the deck is now complete.
I think, looking ahead in the instructions, that I will skip forward to complete at lease the base of the superstructure, so that I can properly trim fit the ends of the pond boards since there will be a slight overlap of that structure beyond the "hole" it fits into.
Then I'll start on all the little project structures.

Put together and painted the base for the Superstructure. I thought a bit of color would break up the walnut monotony. Likely will use some blue on the pilot house as well. I strongly suggest making certain the first pieces will fit into the deck opening before gluing them together. I had to adjust the length of them (shorten) and adjust the notches accordingly as well as sand the edges of the opening a bit to get a good fit.
I added (for practice) some gentle weathering and chipping to the painted surface - nothing over the top but I don't want the boat to look like it just arrived from the builders. I will be doing something similar to the fish pond area and the deck. The superstructure base is just dry fitted at the moment so that I can work on its bits off model.
I'll start working on the deck structures next.

A bit ticked off today. Started working on the steam winch and discovered that the “signature” brass piece - the larger of the two drums - is not present.
Asked for a replacement but as I was going to be blackening them I might try to fabricate something since there’s no telling when or if I might get one. It would be wood as I don’t do metal but painted black that’s ok. Won’t be as pretty a shape though.

A little fun diversion today. Made up a bunch of little herring and a box to hold them for delivery. The boat will be portrayed as ready to dock with nets and buoys stored/drying.

Decided to finish the weathering so I can put the hull aside for the time being to work on the deck structures - cleaned up the shipyard, vacuumed, and straightened up to begin the micro-carpentry.
The vessel no longer looks like it just arrived; she's been working.

James, your comment is appreciated so much. Your review of this kit led me to get it.

Finished the grating area and the scuttle covers.
Working on the rudder tomorrow.
I have to think about weathering the deck soon.
