HMS GREYHOUND by Jackson7 - Corel - Collaboration With My Past Self

[Jackson7]

At last, I am back.

 

I replaced the wood bits on the back that hold up the transom, and I'm beginning to plank down to cover the stern.

Looks like y'all get a bonus post.

 

 

Everything today went faster than I thought. The stern is basically finished. Except...

 

 

It looks as if I will have to reshape the bottom planks to make a good attaching point for the rudder. Or find some other way to make everything fit in right.

 

But for now, I've done everything I feel okay with doing in one evening. I'm too tired to commit myself to more knifework at this hour.

God's peace to you all this Good Friday.

 

Progress continues. I trimmed away the stern planks and glued a bit of scrap wood over them. It worked about perfectly.

I'm thinking a little about the transom. I've painted the one that comes with the kit. But I'm a little bit curious about how it would be like to build my own.

 

Not sure if I want to risk it though. And paint goes a long way toward making it look nice.

I think you're doing a great job with this build - despite the noted deficiencies of this kit!! Peace be with you too!
