jdbradford Posted June 25, 2017 Author #64 Posted June 25, 2017 Here are 3 shots after installing the cap rail and my new cradle for building the ship. The plans showed the cap rail to be 1/16 x 3/16 which seemed very thin at first. But this is what I used on the bow part using a small sheet of 1/16 I had. From about frame 4 aft I used some 3/32 strip I had and then filled and finished by sanding some off to make the transition a bit less noticeable.

jdbradford Posted June 25, 2017 Author #65 Posted June 25, 2017 My next step is the fancy rail and cap. I have been looking at many of the previously built models of the Fair American and for each one, it seems that the cap rail is done a bit differently on them. Also, the finish used on this part is also as different as the number of them being built. I am not sure how I want to proceed with this section. Any ideas?
