Lee J H Posted January 1 Author Share #32 Posted January 1 I was going to do planking work on the main deck, but I had to work on the bow section first, so I went to the bow side. scrubbyj427, ccoyle, Pitan and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee J H Posted January 7 Author Share #35 Posted January 7 According to the manufacturing machine provided by the company, the bent part of the wiring wire is supposed to be worked on later. I'm trying to get connected and working. I don't know the name of this part, but according to the drawings, it is marked with a slight curve, so I try to bend it with an iron after soaking it in water. It's not thick, so it warps easily. You need to cut it out by marking where the door is and where the window is. It was flanked with 1 mm thick walnut wood, and pear wood was used for the window rimming. After this preparation, we plan to work on the details later.. By the way, the ribs in this kit look like they have a lot of places to mend them. I need to clean up my ribs. There are a lot of steps. scrubbyj427, GrandpaPhil, TurkSailor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something you have to proceed with as you decide on the stage of production. I'm struggling with my lack of experience. I'm planning to work hard on it.
