I am going to build this one straight forward, probably make a scratch one in the future and get a little creative. This is a fun one.

Next I decided to plank the cabin deck with some extra Tanganyka wood I had from another kit, this pic is just the beginning, I will post the finished one later, it's already installed in the boat

Here is the beginning, put down the foundation. the wood was not very straight so I had to make some modifications.

I got the deck attached pretty easily. Good old rubber bands and wood work their magic

Now that the deck is in place it was time for the keep strip and the chines. Pretty straight forward, the basswood works great for this step, soaked them in water for an hour and they went in perfect. Sanded each end to flush with the frame.

Got the sides on, now I need to straighten the edges some more, build going pretty smooth so far. The bottom strip are next. After that the agonizing step of choosing a paint scheme will follow.

After a year away from my hobbies, I needed a simple kit to get my brain working again. I pulled this off the shelf and dusted it off with excitement, I hope this goes well!!

Finally after a year I can start back on the ship! I have made some vast improvements since my last post, here is one where I am almost done with the cabin. I am not too happy with the doors but my scratch wood ones looked too much like a toy, so I am going to paint the metal stock ones.

This is my first crack at a Corel kit, the instructions look very good for this ship. Well, at least for now!
