Does anyone know of a source of US Navy figures 1/48 scale? Thanks, Tim

Outstanding job Richard... I look forward to following your build! Welcome aboard! Cheers, Tim

My next step will be to locate and drill the Stanchion Bases, Jack Staff Base and Overboard Discharges. All holes will be 1/16" diameter and about 1/8" deep, then I will then insert aluminum tube cut to proper the length. When sanded they will extend above the deck and out from the side of the hull .005". Cheers, Tim

Mark, I agree! Sure would have been great to be stationed aboard one back in their hayday! Tim

Well I finally got a chance to get back to the build, too many real world issues seem to get in the way. Oh well here we go! At this point I have installed the port and starboard 3/64" x 3/32" chine guards, starting from the transom I worked slowly forward to the bow. The next steps will to drill thw holes for the stanchion Bases and the overboard discharges.. Cheers, Tim

Hi Brian, The hull is solid basswood. It would be a ton of work to somehow convert it to accept RC. Cheers, Tim
-
Hi Alfons, I planed to seal/prime the hull after I installed the Chine Guards, which will be my next step. I agree with you, it's very easy to dent or scratch the hull at this point. Cheers, Tim
-
Greetings, My next step was to prepare the 1/32" x 1/16" Sheer Clamps. After fitting and rounding the forward ends they are glued to the hull and the bottom of the Deck Edge Guards. Cheers, Tim

Greetings, View of stern Edge Guard attached and shaped. Cheers, Tim

Greetings, At this point I have cut the stern 1/16" x 3/32" Deck Guard to length, roughly 3.75". Cheers, Tim

Greetings, My next step is to attach the stern Deck Edge Guard and the Sheer Clamps. Cheers, Tim

Thanks you guys, Alfons is 100% correct with the observation that sanding gets old fast! Cheers, Tim
