In my short time on this site I've never experienced anyone with a holier than thou attitude. In fact quite opposite. Very supportive. My kit builds are not accurate to the originals. I do what I want with my builds. (Click on my builds below.) Again, all supportive. I don't speak nautical jargon. Maybe an "arghhh' here and there. You'll do fine here. Build and have fun

You can rebuild! It doesn’t look too bad. Especially after a 30lb marauder.

Yup.. scrap is a good idea But impractical to buy a bunch to test. I've wasted money over the years buying something I found I didn't like. So fortunately there's likely a YouTube video demonstrating any kind of coating you can think of. Limit it to a couple and then make some test samples.. Good luck

By biscuits, do you mean cookies? Or like biscuits and gravy? Lol. Grog is the same here. I'm in. 😃

It's looking really nice!!

Have a look at both of my builds. I finished each with Tru-oil wipe on. It's more of a rub in than a wipe on. Like you, i wanted light color basswood. I get a nice even wood tone finish. Tru-oil is mostly boiled linseed oil. I'm not sure it's a "poly" unless poly is a generic term. It gives a slight amber color to the wood. There are plenty of other similar products. That's just what I'm used to using and I've used for other projects. Like I mentioned.. Experiment on srap basswood.

Thanks so much, Admiral. I have not seen anything from Ellie. I hope she's back to building soon. She has a great start going

Thanks Ian! I appreciate that

I started the deck planking by running a plank along the centerline from stern to bow. Instructions call for using two deck planks along the centerline. The picture of the model on the front of the kit box shows these planks as darker planks than the surrounding deck planks. But they didn't supply anything with the kit so I cut my own from my 1/32 inch walnut sheet. For the remaining deck planking, I cut the supplied planking strips into 4 inch pieces for the individual planks. I started the planking in the middle of the model and staggered the planks by 1 inch which results in the pattern repeating every 4th plank row. -Finished the deck planking. -Sanded smooth with 220, 320, and 400 grit papers. -Applied a few coats of Tru-Oil wipe on finish. -I wasn't thrilled with the kit supplied model stand so I built my own which was inspired by @eki0813 and @David Lester J class build stands. Both of my builds are at hull completion. Next will be deck fixtures for both. All for now.

I'm at the same point with both my current builds. One deck is done in a linseed oil based wipe on. The other will be done in the same wipe on or shellac. If using yellow PVA wood glue, such as Titebond, the manufacturer states the varnish like coatings will prevent the glue from penatrating the wood fibers which is what give the glue it's strength. I used the Tightbond on a trim piece glued directly to a shellac surface with no problem. There is no tension with that trim piece. I also used CA super glue on a different trim piece directly to shellac without issue. Seems like the super glue works really well in that case. Most deck fixtures don't need much glue strength to hold them down. I'll probably use mostly super glue on my deck fixtures. Hope that helps. Hopefully some other builders with more experience will chime in. BTW.. You can test with wood scraps to see how well wood holds to the type of coating you want to use

Right.. My dad was in process of planking a plank on frame kit and a water pipe above his workbench sprung a leak and ot soaked his model. It made a warped mess of it when it dried. He threw away in disgust. That is of course extreme
