That would have been a perfect idea.........but i already put some clear varnish on it 😞 I thought let 's protect the wood a bit and put some varnish over it. I could sand it down again maybe. Did a test with some left overs: top is no varnish , then the light varnish , half dark varnish , dark varnish.

Thank you all for the nice words.... I had some time to continue the build and was wondering about the instructions supplied by occre, follow them or do it different. I first fitted the false keel and next fitted the rubbing strakes against it. It was easier to do, and i am also thinking about not painting the rubbing strakes black, because of the nice wood colour it has got now. Also fitted the rear, seemd more logic to me.

After a short brake, second planking and some sanding is done. You always think you messed it up and after some sanding and putty it turns out ok 🙂

Hello Everyone, Started my second build, the Mercedes from Occre. I always try to picture every step, but this time i didn't think about it all of the time. The instructions from Occre are a bit minimum compared to the Polaris which i have build first. Thank god there is internet and a site like this one 🙂. It is so good to have experienced builders telling there tips and tricks. I did not want to upload to much pictures, because it would take to much space on the servers. Up until now everything is standard i think, if someone is going to build this kit, please take 30 minute to make yourself a jig like i did to bend the planks and at a later stage the inside of the deck boarding. An absolute lifesaver. The plastic tubing is my plank soaker. As i will progress, i will upload more photo's so other people can check what i am doing wrong and prevent them from making the same mistakes.

Thank you for sharing the photo's. I am building this as a second kit as well 🙂 Just started the build, so it great to see some examples on how it can be build.
