    I finally was able to get some work done on the Volvo today. I started by closing in the cabin top and companionway , I then finished up the steering wheel for the Starboard side steering station ( and pinted it to match the Port side ). I then varnished over the logos , and painted the cabin top red and companionway white ( I will be putting a logo over the companionway entrance ) Here are the results

    Hi Nils, Beautiful boat , Nice lines , I she the same length as Michael Mott's Cutter ? I as well love the Crusing sailboats, I have been working on a 24 foot double ender in 1/2" = 1' - 0" scale , she is 21 feet on deck and will have a 3 foot Bowsprit. she is based on the Bobert Perry designed Ta- shing Baba 30 as well as the pacific seacraft boats that Lyle Hess designed. I have been working on her, on and off for about 2 months. here is what she looks like as of today Best Regards, Pete

    Hi Dave, She is lookig good, I have used the method that Nigel has described above , however I use a Hand drill ( I have detroyed too many models with power tools ) Best Regards, Pete

    Thanks Tom, I used a elmers white glue to attach the logos , I did a bunch of testing with different glues and the standard white glue worked best . ( unfortunatly it's not water proof , so varnishing over the logos should keep them waterproof. Thanks Michael, its amazing how the Keel works like that, allowing you to keep maximum sail up ( someone made alot of money on that idea ) Best Regards, Pete
