    Thank you Mike and everyone for the likes. It seems like it should be a quick project, but that's not the case. The modifications I'm adding are not necessary, but I think they add something unique to the project. Can you believe Model Expo has this kit listed as "entry level" on their revised website?! Steve

    Looks great. I like the pedestal profiles also. Steve

    The cockpit seat supports were shaped with the rotory tool, sandpaper, and files, With one completed, I was able to trace its profile onto the other to make the shaping easier. The moulding is next before I add any paint. Steve

    Really fantastic work! Steve

    Good point! I will omit them. Steve

    The thwarts were sized and cut after I made templates out of index cards. There will be grooves notched into them and the longboard running down the center. This board will be sectioned off and lay flush, in-between the thwarts following Chuck's Barge example. Under construction are the supports for the cockpit seats. They will be similar to the example shown in my November 18th post. Steve

    Glad you're starting this one. You are so right- not many logs on this one. This one for me is more difficult than the longboat kit. Both great kits though. Steve

    The coloring looks good. Don't forget sanding sealer before you copper plate. Steve

    Best of luck on your project. Great instructions on this one. Thank you also for the kind words. Steve

    Nice! Steve

    Thanks- but it's not my idea. I think this one's been around for a while. Steve

    Hi Nils- They're just micro binder clips. You have to disassemble them and use pliers to create these. Steve

    To create the templates for the seat back, support strip, and seats, I traced the laser cut parts. I used the plans to help create the front platform template. The platform and seats will remain unpainted, which is why I cut them from maple. All parts are dry fit and unglued at this point. Next, I will create the paneled support for the seats using the tabs that were removed from the frames earlier in the project. Steve

    Looks good to me! Once you get more onto the deck, you won't notice whatever is bothering you. Steve

    Erik, Looking forward to the continuation of your Cheerful. Hope all is well. Steve

    Looking forward to this. I bet you finish before my pinnace is complete. Steve

    Wow! Congrats. Steve

    Really fantastic work. What color rope is that from Chuck? Light brown? Steve
  20. Tigersteve
    Wow- anyone saying to themselves, "now I'm going to have to make these for this model!" ? This model gets better and better at each turn. Steve

    Looking forward to see this one take shape. Steve

    I'll follow too. Steve

    Thanks guys! I have Tamiya flat red from my Longboat project. I was considering changing the colors to orange and green to match this example I showed, but I also want to compliment my Longboat. I plan to modify the red color scheme to show more of the wood. I have some ideas. Stay tuned... Steve

    Very well done! I enjoyed your technical analysis on these projects and it added to the result. You finished them up quick. They look great together. Steve
