Had a rainy morning so I got a few things going. I started inventory then quickly decided to finish it some other day. Everything is probably there . I cut the keel parts from the sheet and got it all out without breaking anything Using my wife's "Christmas" tissue, I traced lines on the drawings to be transferred to the keel sections. I layed the tracings onto the sections. I'll transfer them over with carbon paper. Or I'll poke through the thin tissue with a sharp pencil point and make a series of dots. Not sure yet. I'll glady accept any ideas. Now. Here's a little clue to the operation I'm planning to tackle next: Anyone care to make a guess? 😃 That's all for now folks. Stay tuned Terry

Hello Major C. I found your build log and I think you're doing, or did, a fine job. I plan to do mine like yours.. painted hull but letting the planking details show through. That is, assuming my planking good enough to show. If not, I'll smear it with bondo and call it a day. I'm curious about your kit. Was it new in 2003? Or is it the kit you started back in 2000? I see you have plywood bulkheads. My my kit is new and it too has plywood bulkheads. Many other build logs show what looks to be basswood for the bulkheads. I was originally a little disappointed thinking basswood would be easier to work with. But now seems like plywood is ok by the looks of your work. I've recently started a build log and will slowly get started. Also, i do have that one essential tool that you have. A bottle of good bourbon .. 😋 Thanks Terry

Thank you. Glad you're following. I'll have plenty of questions. I'm already getting a lot from your build log
-
Don't look too close! You'll make me nervous. Haha. Will be great to have you checking in.
-
Ok.. I started a build log. I hope I did it all correctly. Check it out. Let me know. Thanks all !!

The kit arrived today. Christmas in July! I knd of feel like a kid again. It's a blue box just like in all of the build logs I've seen.. Good start. Lots of wood sticks and slabs as expected. You can see by my side view pic of the keel and bulkhead stock, that the keel is basswood and the bulkheads are plywood. I was hoping for basswood bulkheads as well. Seems plywood is not going to sand as nicely as basswood during the fairing process . Oh well, I'll manage. I probably won't start any building until sometime in September. In the meantime I'll do research, read the instructions, study the plans, do kit inventory, look at build logs, etc.. on rainy days. I appreciated any and all suggestions, guidance, and help. Thanks Terry

Thanks much! Excellent info. I'll be sure to add the tags in my log. And yes.. I've been watching Gary Brinker's YouTube videos. He's pointed out a lot of things I've made mental notes of. And he's quite entertaining.. haha
