Yesterday I went ahead and decided it was time I put all the deck hatches, and other deck details on the boat. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to drill the holes for the brass eye hooks that will eventually hold down the "ropes" before or after this step, but the instructions said to do this first so that's what happened.
I am very happy with how things are coming along and I seem to be nearing the rigging stage of the build. (Scary) But excited to start it. If anyone has any advice on this or links to either other forum posts or videos that can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have already done a fair bit of research but any additional advice is always welcome.
In the meantime, here are some more photos I took of the ship in its current state. Some even have a little tilt-shift look to them. Enjoy.
Lastly, I glued on the bilge pumps this morning after doing some touch up paint last night.
As always, I will continue to update here and any words of wisdom about the next stage of the build are always welcome.
Your beholding can subside for now.
