Canute Posted February 11, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 11, 2021 The box showed up fairly quickly via FedEx. Inventoried the parts and read over Tom's instructions (well, looked at the pictures😁). I'll be slow diving into this, waiting for my eye surgeries in March. But, I'll be here following along with the rest of the mates.

Canute Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted February 14, 2021 Somebody must be the lead rabbit; just not me. I'll do what I can, like marking the various part sheets and such. I'm working under a rather bright light to read any fine print. I have 3 weeks to the first op. mtaylor, James H, Edwardkenway and 1 other 4 Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canute Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted February 14, 2021 Kevin, James, et al.. Thank you all. The inactivity is making me nuts. The Admiral listens to my whining, but she has enough other things to deal with. I'm marking up the part sheets today, so I can feel like I'm participating in the build. thibaultron, Matt D, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canute Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted March 2, 2021 James, I am an absolute tyro for building up these individual frames so pardon my basic questions. You glued up the As and Bs separately, with the chocks fitted? Then faired each A to B? I'm starting to lay out the parts on #6, but am hesitant to do much truing with blurry eyesight. My first op is next Monday, so I'm raring to go. mtaylor, Edwardkenway and thibaultron 3 Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first op is next Monday, so I'm raring to go. I built up each individual frame with chocks, as per plan, then roughly bevelled up to the laser engraving marks on each (external and internal bevel). Each A and B was then glued together and sat into jig on keel (no glue) where I'm currently sanding the interior to smooth it out more. When that's done, I'll remove the double frames and give a proper sanded internal finish and fit 'nails' to the chocks. Then I'll add poly to the side faces of each, then glue to keel and start to fit out the interior. Well...that's my plan. I've never done a POF before.
