    Thanks for your compliment Steve, I have been enjoying your Shenandoah build as well! I also really like your the quote in your signature. Patsy (derisively): "It's only a model." Arthur: "Sshhh."

    oh, I always love to see pictures. sometimes a picture of what went wrong will help another modeler to suggest a fix that you may not have thought of. Take heart and press on though. It seems like modeling is always two steps forward one step back.

    Long time between updates but I have been working steadily, just slow. I am going to go ahead with making the hull in three pieces. I will do much of the interior of the hull, hanging knees and riders while it is in 3 pieces. then put it back in the building jig and join the pieces with the planking. fingers crossed on that. So far I have the bow and stern portion made and rough sanded and I was delighted to find they can be removed from the building jig and then put back on with no trouble whatever. The next job will be to finish the center portion, then the fun work of detailing the interior begins.

    John, thanks for the link to Ngineering, I am planning to light my present build. Burnside, your build for Mariefred is beautiful, I love the looks and the size and would like to build one myself, have you noticed any of the problems that Puckotread noticed with the Bohuslän kit?

    Hi Bryan, your model is looking good. have you decided how to finish your deck? one thing I like to do is take some of the scrap decking and make up a few test decks. some small pieces about an inch or two square and then try different finishes on them, you can throw them on the deck and see which you like the looks of.

    time for another update, I have all the frame blanks made, and have cut and fit the major body plan stations, now I will put the bevel on each frame before cutting the inside face of the frames. I just had to see what it was going to look like with the inside edge of the frames cut, so I did the first four midship frames, nothing has been glued yet. I am going to wait to glue anything till I am satisfied I have a fair hull.
