I was able to get the risers in place and also the front platform.

I may give this another coat of paint but I think this is as good as I'm going to get it. I'm pleased over all with the results at this stage in the build and I can only get better as I progress (Hopefully). The real work here was I didn't want to adhere anything directly to the paint, So I had to carefully remove the paint from any areas that I would be applying glue to. Needless to say this is quite time consuming and a bit challenging for me. I realize there's going to be a lot more paint removal thru out this build so patience is a virtue.

With much tweaking I finally got the back bench installed. I'm pleased that the angle of the bench matches the Drawing. All that's left for this section is to fill in the gaps and paint.

It has been a couple of years since my last log but now that I am settled in my new place it's time to start a new project.

I decided to change the suggested building sequence and put the coxswain seats in first. it just seems easier to remove the paint where they need to be glued to the panel Also it's easier access to paint them before putting the the bench seat back in place. I also added some bracketing in order to have some surface area to glue the back seat in.

I finally installed the actual benches. I put in some filler where needed so when I paint it hopefully it will cover a multitude of sins. There were some challenges for me but over all I'm satisfied so far. the back of the bench is going to have its own challenges with fitting and gluing it in place.

I'm working out the dimensions of the benches using bass wood pieces first. once I get it to where I'm satisfied (Certainly not perfect) I'll use the bass wood cut outs as templates to shape the cherry cut outs that are provided in the kit. I'm going to take my time tweaking in each angle until it's close enough to what I feel will work. There's nothing a little filler can't take care of anyhow.

I'm almost back to the point I originally started from. There's still issues but by fairing a little more the benches look like they will finally fit much better.
