Blighty Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share #61 Posted April 28, 2017 Getting close to dressing her up with all the bling. Hull has to be painted and I'm good to go. I regret not staining the inside surfaces of the hull prior to asm, it is difficult to reach with a small brush now so the finish will not be as smooth as I would have liked, another lesson learned.

Blighty Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share #64 Posted May 6, 2017 I'm back on the build log. I have been busy building the engine, gun and flag pole, getting close to wrapping this kit up, it's been a good one. Moving the flag to the port side, leaves much easier access to the gun. Also, the kit has the mast length at 7" so true scaled length is 28' this seemed un-necessarily long so I reduced the length. Gun mounted temporarily. Thanks for looking in, engine and condenser should be mounted next post. Canute, Cathead, Jack12477 and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blighty Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share #69 Posted May 25, 2017 Finished except for a dusting and clean up, bashed about a little which made this an interesting build for me. I tried to modify the build to make the boat more user friendly, (in my no-nautical eyes), increasing deck space, added extra bench, moved masts, added storage and trimmed the stern square per the period sketches. This was a fun boat to build, coupled with the historic exploits in the Civil War this was well worth the effort and expense. I will clean it up and add some pics the gallery. Thx for following along, the La Nina from AT is next on the cutting board, I have some bashing to do on that one also.
