hof00 Posted October 20, 2020 #6 Posted October 20, 2020 Hi Chap, Nice start!! I'll be in to my version tomorrow.... (Ensure that the forward superstructure is "Beveled" to accommodate the Plywood sides. (This was where mine initially came to grief.... (Too much of a hurry.)) With the re-build, I have to think carefully about the sequence, esp. masking/painting. Are you planning on Lighting? Cheers....HOF.

turangi Posted October 21, 2020 #13 Posted October 21, 2020 You might want to try a cabinet scraper on the decks to remove the excess black on the planks. Sanding tends to smear the color but a scraper removes a bit of wood and leaves the simulated caulk. Reci, Ryland Craze and BobG 3 Quote
Jim Lad Posted October 21, 2020 #14 Posted October 21, 2020 A neat looking deck. I agree that a cabinet scraper would do a good job on the deck finish. John Reci and Ryland Craze 2 Quote

hof00 Posted October 24, 2020 #26 Posted October 24, 2020 Nice!! Decking looking great. I guess I have a much older kit, no Laser Cut Window/Door Frames. Is the Ships wheel/Bench/Cabinet also supplied? I scratched a Binnacle and used a Billings Wheel. Awesome progress Sir. Cheers....HOF.

I made the laser cut pieces and bench cushions myself. I bought the rudder wheel, bench and cabinet. Quote
