Duanelaker Posted August 3, 2020 Author #34 Posted August 3, 2020 Fiddling with the wheel house and grating...seems way out of scale but I’m going to go with it, I’ve thinned it down as I can’t imagine it being a foot thick Elijah and EricWilliamMarshall 2 Quote David Builds in Progress: Phantom Pilot Boat - MS Completed Builds: Bounty Jolly Boat - AL Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff - MW Grand Banks Dory - Bluejacket The Dinghy - MW Grand Banks Dory - MW 32 Pound Carronade - MS Skiff - MW Peterboro Canoe - MW On Hold: 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull - NRG Ponte Berlin - Corel Taurus Steam Towboat - MS
Duanelaker Posted August 9, 2020 Author #35 Posted August 9, 2020 I’ve decided to order different grating as the one that came with the kit is way off. I’ve also finished the wheel house beside paint and started the companionway. im wondering if I should remove the decking where the companion way goes or if I can set it on top. I used the grooved deck material for the companion way roof.

Duanelaker Posted August 16, 2020 Author #37 Posted August 16, 2020 So my smaller grating came and I thinks it’s way better then the kit provided grating.

Duanelaker Posted August 31, 2020 Author #41 Posted August 31, 2020 I decided to use the solid wood for the skylight and just do trim on the outside.

Duanelaker Posted September 4, 2020 Author #46 Posted September 4, 2020 Decided to do some painting and staining. I also have work on the skylight. So far I’m pleased. I stained the deck.

Elijah Posted October 7, 2020 #47 Posted October 7, 2020 Yes, your grating is leagues better than the kit supplied one. What stain did you use for the deck? I really like it!

Yes, i had a hole in my eardrum so the surgery was not too terrible, i was actually surprised how it really did effect me for the last few weeks! Thank you for the compliments, currently i have ordered more basswood so i can attempt my cap rail...i think i've tried 3 times already and not been pleased. I've also drilled for my main masts and my angle is close, but the dowels are super warped! Not sure how to fix that so i ordered a few new ones.

Duanelaker Posted January 2, 2021 Author #56 Posted January 2, 2021 I have attached the cap rail (after 4 attempts that did not look good enough, even for my standards), as well as the cleats and eye bolts below. I went with some wooden cleats I had purchased from model Shipways last year instead of the metal ones supplied that were too big.
