alde Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share #64 Posted April 14, 2018 It's been a long time but I'm back at it. I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to get the shipyard more organized and have a ways to go before I'll be happy with it. I'm going to have way more modeling time now and plan to take full advantage of it. I managed to get the deck done and finished with water based stain and wipe on poly and install the stanchions for the bulwarks. The bulwarks were soaked and clamped to the stanchions with cloths pins and will be ready to attach tomorrow. It's not much but it's progress. Here are a couple of pictures. rafine, Tigersteve, Landlubber Mike and 3 others 6 Quote The heart is happiest when the head and the hands work together.
