  1. Bulkhead templates are secured to the hull. I’m glad to have this step finished. Steve
  2. I redid the metal rings around the gratings because they were loose and drilled the mast holes. Finally, the bulkhead template install is in progress. It’s not as easy as I thought. It took a couple of glue sessions to secure the first template. I’m making some supports so I can clamp down the next template properly. Steve
  3. Here’s a couple sites to check out. Have not used them myself. The ones I used don’t seem to offer what you need https://www.ttplasticland.com/products/acrylic-display-case?srsltid=AfmBOoo9eoBuQwHC1ql7_2kjnMWaUFpLD4PyAp2VcHKFNevTj9VJBK4M https://pleximart.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoo1hSpvoTvGuE9w1rog3mQ-DbKJMelmkxB6WJ_Zw-s-bOhM9XdD
  4. Inboard planking of the bulkhead templates is complete. Today I created the windows and drilled holes for the masts. Steve
  5. Making slow but steady progress on the bulkhead templates. Steve
  6. Looks really good and clean. I’m sure the rigging will look awesome Steve
  7. A small update, but one worth posting for me. Back on track with the Mayflower build. It is full speed ahead as I work on the interior planking of the bulkhead templates and redo the metal work for the door handles. The first planks on the templates are basswood, as they will not be seen on the model. The remaining planks will be cherry. I had a small surgery in the last few months, but mainly I have been procrastinating on this metalwork. It’s good to be back. I ordered a cheap optivisor and some thin CA glue. Hopefully it will be easier to work with than the medium CA that I have. Steve
