  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Shaping and installing the risers was a tricky task. I matched the curve of the third strake down from the shear fairly close. More time was spent creating a symmetrical pair. Now I can add some paint and begin some small structural modifications. I'm inspired by the below example provided by Chuck to our fellow member in his build. Shown below. Steve
  4. I do very little at a time. I think sometimes it helps the quality. This plank bending takes time and is frustrating on these small boats. If you do Chuck's Pinnace kit, you get to do inboard planking too. Steve
  5. I agree with Per. Seems awfully expensive for the case. Regarding the photos- try placing it near a window with daylight. No flash. Don't shoot the photo towards the daylight though. Steve
  6. Looks good. Don't forget to line the first couple frames and the last couple. Steve
  7. Add another "wow" to the log. Steve
  8. Looks like a nice kit. I'd like to join the fun. Steve
  9. I love your work philosophy. Good choice to rip out and redo. I actually planked mine twice. First time I ruined it with treenailing and model expo sent me replacement parts so I could do it all again. :-) It's a painful decision to redo something but it's always worth it in the end. Steve
