bobandlucy Posted October 17, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 17, 2021 I'm sure you will enjoy the building of this model. I learned a lot from this series of kits. Bob Malazan and Ryland Craze 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henke Posted October 18, 2021 Share #4 Posted October 18, 2021 This looks nice. Can I have a front seat? The Panther background adds interest 🙂.

Malazan Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted October 18, 2021 Started shaping the Broad Strake. I also have a question, is there a false stem in the kit? Or is that something I make out of the strips of wood? Diver, SkiBee and Ryland Craze 3 Quote John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlee01 Posted October 18, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 18, 2021 @Malazan I made mine from the the strip supplied in the the kit. Just make it a little longer than what you need for ease of handling then trim or sand it back. SkiBee and druxey 2 Quote Life is to short to be serious all the time. So, if you can't laugh at yourself, your not doing it right.

Malazan Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted October 20, 2021 I’m redoing my planks on the bow and transom. Didn’t like how the turned out the first go around Quote John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted October 21, 2021 Well after multiple mistakes, like using my gunnel piece for the floor cleats instead of the 1/8 x 3/64, so now I had to order some 1/16 x 1/16 stock😣 So I shaped my risers and one gunnel piece Used some wood filler to fill transom area, and False Stem area Ive ordered another MS Dory, I’m going to do it again after this one. Don’t feel comfortable moving on until I get this one right druxey, bobandlucy, JpR62 and 1 other 4 Quote John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
