Greetings,

Just finished the second of sanding sealer on the PT hull, I hope to get a coat of primer on it by the weekend.  In the mean time I have been working on the Chart house and day cabin.  I used my bench mounted belt sander to work them down to the correct height, as you can see by the pencil mark on the chart house I have a little more work to do!    

Cheers,

Tim

I have a question to those who have used a sanding sealer.   Would it be a good idea to apply a second coat of sanding sealer after my final sanding of the hull?  :mellow: 

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Bob,

Let me start by saying you are doing an awsome job!  And welcome to Model Ship World, you did the right thing by adding your build here, as you can see there is limitless help from the members here at MSW, so never be afraid to ask a question.  The only dumb question is the one you didn't ask!   

Cheers,

Tim

I just completed adding a coat of sanding sealer to the hull, this has a dry time if 1 hour.

I finally made time to return to the model bench!  After trying without success to drill the strut for the shaft placement, I contacted BlueJacket Shop Crafters, I was informed they now include a new one-piece shaft and strut assembly.  I quickly ordered three, and they arrived within a week at my front door.  

Pictured below are the strut and shaft in their correct placement.  The three shaft boss units will be glued to the hull at this time, the struts with the shafts will be attached at a later time.  

Cheers,

Tim

After some searching the internet and with some help from my friend Gene I was able to come up with the placement sites on the lower hull for the remaining drains.  I was able to to get them installed this week.

Cheers,

Tim
