The factory supplied dog legs diid not fit the stern deck so I made new ones out of basswood using my contour gauge. .
-
I like the rudder it reminds me of the butt stock of a Winchester lever action repeating rifle.
-
Polyacrylided the deck and hull.While it has some problems,overall I am pretty pleased with the hull.Not bad for my first planked hull.
-
Putting the stern together.Some roughness haas to be smoothed out and refining is still required.
-
Made a couple of pieces in the stern for a platform for walnut planking.
-
I tried a slighty different planking pattern on the other side.Looks pretty good!
-
Finished the 2nd planking on this side.Now I have to plank the other.
-
Thanks guys!Love The Pink Floyd song also.I don't smoke but my local cigar shop was giving away cigar boxes and they are perfect for keeping my modeling tools!Yes the instructions are not great but looking at the other build logs helps immensely!
-
A little more progress.(BTW i really appreciate all of the helpful and encouraging replies I have received on this build log.(They number exactly one0)Sheesh.Oh well no matter!

I have began to apply the second layer of walnut planking.

I glued on the keel before I put on the second layer of walnut planks.
-

Glued on the deck planking.i have to sand the planks level and contour them to follow the curve of the hull.
-
OK I closed up the hull and will now begin to do the decking.
-
Refining the shape of the hull and filling in cracks and gaps with splinters in some cases.
-
Closing up the bottom and will finish the first layer of planking soon.I have a lot of work to do to make sure the planks are level and conform to the proper contours,
-
Thanks!I'll give it a try!
-
OK! I continue to put the planks on and it is going ok,I will have to cut ,sand and add wood here and there to make the hull as good as I can get it.i already got my money's worth out of this kit because I never did a planked hull before but it is fun and challenging!
-
I have never seen such incredible craftsmanship and skill.You must be an engineer or luthier to make such a perfect model!

Ok I'm diving in!I secured the deck and have pinned up the first plank.I soaked the plank in hot water for 10 minutes and pinned it to the bulkheads.To prevent splitting I had to drill a pilot hole in each bulkhead.I guess i will let it dry,mark the position of the plank and apply the Titebond.Hope I am doing this right,but I'll guess i will find out!
-
The deck does not fit too well so i have to clamp it up frame by frame.

Yeah fish!They are not the best,However I think I can figure out what to do,
