so, you need to remove that one as well. would it help you, {repaint and make your marks} if you were to make a jig for the height that the windows should be at. just a small piece of flat stock cut to the height that the frame should be. make the marks for the centering and with the structure flat on the table, lay the jig against the front of it. locate the part using the centering marks and the jig. there is also slow setting CA out there on the market. what were you going to put in the frames? darkened cello? you could also use the same jig on all the windows, so they will all be at the same height.

I use a water based filler, and I thin it down to a thick cream, instead of the consistency of paste. I use an auto body filler spreader to apply it, so it fills in the gaps, but doesn't leave a lot on the surface. sanding takes half the time......a lot easier on the arm

so....the plot thickens.......I'm thinking that it did a bit more than remove paint.......am I right?

exactly Tim..........everything has it's moment. never heard of un-cure, but if you just stripped the paint.......then that's no big deal. just paint her back up and you'll be back to square one in no time

I've run sail cloth through the printer...........I have the the Testor's decal maker. I import the flag design, size it with the program, and then print. then I spray it with the decal bonder to prevent the ink from running. it's easy to shape after it is assembled on the rigging.

interesting.........I'll have to see what the combination of these two products caused

looks very nice Vivian.......most of the time, you can stretch the scale a little, and you can get away with it. you just have to be careful on how much you do it. you did well here though.......and you can build in a little extra detail to compliment it. very nice deck work hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly
-
it looks great Tim..........if your only sin was staying away from the bench, then your forgiven. there's no time limit an easy way to repent, is to get that detail on there! looking forward in seeing what it will look like!
-
you've really put a lot of fine detail into the rigging.......some of the tackle is simply a work of art. great job Gil!
-
great start to the build Nils. is that P.E. your using for the fittings?.......doors and such
