In the Kit Area is a topic with quick find indexes. I'll paste a copy of my search and just scroll down to Virginia. There's lots of logs for this ship. Wooden Ships.pdf

Fillers for bulkheads
mtaylor replied to legend's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Basswood works well also. Many hobby shops have the stuff in bags of assorted sizes as well as planks of various sizes. -
As others have said, just layer and build. BTW, a low price method for bending with heat is a curling iron. The come in assorted sizes but I've found I can pretty much get away with the 1".

Pete, Everything I've seen shows the rings at the size. When furling, everything goes down to the widest part of the past.
-
Looking forward to it.

I thank you for the likes comments. But I do have sad news. I'm indefinitely pausing this builds. There's some minor errors but basically, since what has happened in my personal life, I can't stand to look or work on her. So for now, until I can get through the healing process, she will be, as the British Navy would say: "In Ordinary" pending further decisions.

Well done Danny. What Chris said about a beast applies.

Lawrence, If I remember right, it was an X-acto handle with an X-acto saw blade. These are at the blades: https://www.amazon.com/Xacto-X215-Blades-15-Pkg/dp/B000BREQDO The Handle is this one: http://www.xacto.com/products/cutting-solutions/knives/detail/X3261

I doubt you'll hear back from AL as form what's been posted here about them, they're bankrupt and have or are shutting down.

Cabbie, What thickness of CA are you using? My hobby shop carries "super thin", "thin", "regular/medum" and something called "cap-filling" and there is a "thick". Try the "cap-filling" or one of the slow-curing CA's.

Lovely progress, Jo.

On the CH-53, that is a refueling tube only.

Drive safely, Frank. And watch the potholes and rough spots on I-5 if that's the way you're going.

Rotors do sage when they aren't spinning. Compared to the weight they haul, they're actually pretty light all things considered. When they're spinning, they go nice and straight and can actually bend a bit upwards. There's this video showing how not to do aerial refueling:

Welcome to MSW, Alexis. I hope you'll open a build log so we can follow along.

Congratulations for a successful launch and first sail, Steve. She looks really good in water. The waterline might be a little low but if it moves well, don't worry about it. I do like Legodude's donation.

The USAF CH-53's have in-air refueling capability. The tube is a lot larger (proportionatly to yours and is low on the fuselage.
-
I'd go along with LH as I too doubt that's a refueling probe with all the fins on it and it's location. I'm thinking its a pitot tube for airspeed or something else to get inlet out of the prop wash.

Finally... an update. The two remaining small boats are on hold for now. I needed a change of pace and break from those fiddly things. I've installed the forecastle and quarterdeck beams. And also installed the pumps. Clearances have been checked and re-checked for rigging to come at a much later date. Next up is planking the decks and associated bulwarks. I'm starting with forecastle. Here's photos: I had to get the camera repaired and it would appear that the repairs were successful. Till next time.
