    The build is continuing with the rabbet strip being glued to the bulkhead former. Since it should be centered I've used an 1/32'' strip to help me guide exactly on position.

    Thanks Dirk, will give it a try once I put it together!

    I've started laying the keel for this project so I've glued together the two bulkheads. Since I did not have any glass panels I used an aluminium profile to keep it as straight as possible and I am quite happy with the results. You can also see that I've pre-bended the rabbet strip at the same time Waiting for the glue to cure I've cut out the stem assembly and started sanding out the laser burn marks. To my dissapointment they are much tougher to remove then I thought - it actually took away 0,5 mm and the results are still not as I wished. Does anyone have any idea on how much sanding is really required or if there is any other solution how to remove the burns? Below is a comparison between the sanded and unsanded keel.

    Dear Friends, It's been a while since I've built my first model so I've finally decided to continue with this wonderful hobby. After some doubts on whick kit to choose I went for the Confederacy from Model Shipways. I've ordered it through Cornwall Models in the UK and the've dispatched it the same day - amazing service! Got the kit yesterday and to be honest I was slightly dissapointed with the quality of the castings (ok I knew it from this forum they are not amazing), but also some laser cut parts came off as they were not properly packed. Anyway seems that all the little pieces are intact
