not bad about $20 AUD with postage I might order some as i am running out of small drill bits -
thanks Mick did a few hours of sanding today before sanding : I work in steps. first I sand off the sharp parts of the reinforcements making them even with the bulkheads and the keel then I slowly keep sanding till all the laser cut burns are gone the 2 reinforcements in between the bulkheads at the stern are really difficult to sand I still have lots to do on the bow and stern areas and I haven't even started on the bulkheads in between so I doubt I ll be able to finish this weekend
-
thanks Brian two more reinforcements to install at the front and then i can start sanding during the weekend
-
very very nice Robbyn your first masterpiece of many now go and start your Syren build log so I can get my seat at the front

thanks Piet tonight I glued the deck in place. the mast dowel is inserted to verify the holes in the deck line up for proper insertion
-
thanks Randy they are better but dont expect too much. for instance for the placement of the doors,windows and handrails no measurements are given and no plans are provided so i used the photos (and part list lengths) to calculate and guestimate thier positions. and so far no real errors in the parts, not like the kom where you have plenty of errors to fix up
-
thanks Wayne and Dragzz
-
thanks Mark i promise i ll take some pictures withe lights on . but first i want to a bit more finishing off on the railings and stairs thanks Jim its been a fun and a sad journey and i am glad i am able to finish it
-
thank you but it looks harder than it is thanks Mick. Edwin, Augie and Scott

yesterday I started on the forward structure with all the preparations of drilling holes and marking where doors and windows go work progressed good (the forward deck is only dry fitted) just a bit of touching up the paint work here and there the single eyebolt next to the right most door is for the handrails next to the stairs. I am waiting to fit the forward deck on top so I can determine the angle off the stairs and drill the final 2 holes. then I can add the handrail and the last window after that its just a few more reinforcement to install and fix the 4 parts of the bulwarks and planking can begin at least after the sawdust festival of the fairing of the bulkheads

yup I sure am Randy dragzz , adding lights is not really that difficult and well worth the extra effort haha no worries Popeye . yes you are right It would have been very difficult with the stacks and all in the way. a few pictures on where I am at now. stacks and small ladders are dry fitted.

thanks Popeye and Edwin some shots of the steering house all finished and varnished I really like this varnish some pictures of the progress so far (the forward deck is not yet glued on)
-
Robert really looking good yes it looks crooked but that's because you are looking at it from far away. imagine you are standing on the boat next to it. even do the deck angles upwards you d still be standing straight just like the vent is straight.

thank you John but I think building in card is not for me at the moment. when I can I will try to finish this build but it certainly will not be my best if you want to see some really beautiful work in card check out the build log of the Royal Caroline by Doris. its absolutely amazing
-
thanks John and you are doing good work on your Bireme
