Below are the line tub. I made per plan, but did not like the shiny white line and used unraveled hemp string glued in place.
Made oars per plan, built with scraps. Added a stretch of black flat paint to represent leather wraps for thole pins.
I glued hem of sail, then added stitching for show and glued on bolt rope.

I have painted the hull with the paints in the kit. Grey primer over all, buff on outside (3 coats) and dark grey on inside (2 coats).
Was worried the white glue would not work well on painted surfaces, so I marked out locations of mahogany strip and lightly sanded.
Soaked the strips then clamped them dry in position before gluing next day. This shows first piece clamped down to glue.

This is my first wooden boat model. I chose the Entry level Grand Banks Dory from Blue Jacket.

Finally got around to posting pictures of finished model! I used historical photos of working dories, to postion the lifting loops, different from the instruction manual. Am happy with the finished model boat. This was my first wooden boat model, and my first from Blue Jacket. I enjoyed it very much, no frustration at all, I liked the kit. I look forward to starting another. Highly recommend.
