Pilot house installed and made some small mods to correct my mistake regarding the pilot house door placement.
-
Again, great idea. I discovered Asterix upon moving to France. I love the comic, especially the Corsica volume after visiting Corsica a few times.
-
Really cool idea for the bottle! I would only remove the back label.
-
Oops. Caught a little mistake, but I have a solution:
-
I believe it’s the, “Patina Green”. it gets mixed reviews online. One reviewer said lemon, vinegar and salt worked better.
-
Trying to epoxy the stovepipe to the stove before installing the roof of the wheelhouse. Figured it was easier this way.
-
Added the masts. I picked up one of those Dremel drill press units and tried it out on these masts, to add the holes for the rigging lines to pass. I should have bought this thing a long time ago, it’s great!

I know, right? I used to buy the D engine packs at a local hobby shop when I was like, 10 years old. No one questioned anything, in fact, they were hanging right in the aisle with all of the rocket kits, grab and go! The good days!
-
…and built one of my rockets while things were drying on the riverboat. 😁 Too bad France is limited to 500ft AGL without submitting a NOTAM to the Direction General of Civil Aviation, but being a pilot myself, I understand. I have an L1 rocket coming in soon and hope to get out to the California desert this fall to certify L1. Then on to L2, etc.

Wheelhouse is coming along.
-
Some careful filing to get the angles right.
-
Love the weathering, the build looks like a well used vessel. Great job!

Starting the wheelhouse
-
Well, that filled the gap between decks without forcing things. I shaped it like an aircraft blister so once the stairs are installed it’ll be inconspicuous.
-
Can’t fault you, I have several kits stacked up as well. 🙄
-
Addition of the following deck. There’s a gap at the base of the assembly there that I’m going to have to fill with a 2x2 piece of shaped wood, like a decorative trimming. I tried to press the entire assembly down to fill-in the gap but the wood told me to stop or else. So I listened.
-
deleted, wrong log.
-
Using the kit nails is a good idea.
-
I broke a lot of parts like that during my Enterprise build, so from now on, I add bamboo treenails to any vertical posts, etc. They stand up to my mistakes much better.
