john D Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) So I finally started the build went thru the instructions and high lighted all the english parts checked all the parts to see if all is there.I put the frames together as a dry fit and then glued when I was satisfied all was good.I also layed out the false decks and started some planking.

Cathead Posted April 18, 2022 Share #9 Posted April 18, 2022 You're not kidding, you're rattling right along. She's starting to show some personality. clearway 1 Quote Eric Current builds: scratchbuilt Missouri River steamboat Peerless (1893); 1:1 scale timber-framed outdoor kitchen Nautical builds (kits): USS Cairo; NRG capstan project; NRG half-hull; Viking longship; US revenue cutter; 18th century longboat; Bounty launch Missouri River craft (scratchbuilt): 1853 Missouri River steamboat Arabia; 1865 steamboat Bertrand; Lewis & Clark barge; keelboat; 1876 steamboat Far West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the dog kennels! 🐕 Thanks most of the deck fittings are just dry fit right now they will be set as I do the rigging.Its easier to tie off the ropes without all that stuff in the way.

Melissa T. Posted April 28, 2022 Share #14 Posted April 28, 2022 Just finished reading Alfred Lansing’s classic book on the Endurance expedition. Was ever a ship so aptly named?! Such an incredibly inspiring story, and your model is looking fantastic! john D 1 Quote Melissa T.
