MrBlueJacket Posted June 16, 2019 Author #97 Posted June 16, 2019 Here is the finished wheelhouse. The plans just have a slant roofed box, but I added styrene angle at the corners and made the roof even with them. Looks better, I think. GrandpaPhil, schooner, jgodsey and 4 others 7 Quote
Srodbro Posted June 17, 2019 #98 Posted June 17, 2019 MBJ: Your wheelhouse looks good. Just curious: In many build logs I’ve seen nice detailed wheel houses, but then no deck furniture that would house a compass ... will Red Jacket have a something to steer by nearby?

I didn't take any pics of the parts, but the 4 sides are laser-cut with mating notches on the edges. You can see that in my post of June 14th. The roof is a sheet of glued up decking as provided in the kit. Doors and windows are photo etched pieces, and the trimwork is cut from strip wood and applied with CA glue. bob porter 1 Quote
