  1. Congratulations! Very nicely done!
  2. I bought a pack of regular printer cardstock and poster board a while back and have had good luck with those. Looking forward to seeing the United States come together. It looks like you’ve got a good start!
  3. The lanterns are painted and installed: I also damaged the flag locker while drilling holes, but it will be okay. The damage is very minor. Once the glue dries, I’ll paint the supports and touch up the stern, where I damaged it drilling holes. The stern on this model is a brass sheet, and when I started this model, I didn’t have the skills to make my own. I could make my own now (and will for all my future builds). My skill level has increased exponentially during this build. A lot of those increases have been a result of things that I have learned on this forum.
  4. It would be better to fair after putting the filler pieces in because you can blend in the fairing with the filler blocks and feather it in so you have a smooth solid surface to plank over.
