robert952 Posted November 27 Author #31 Posted November 27 I had a few spare minutes this afternoon. I trimmed and sanded the keel and stem pieces. Still have to fill the scarf joint and a few other areas. However, I wanted to post this quick update. It's starting to look more and more like a boat.

JacquesCousteau Posted November 27 #32 Posted November 27 Very nice job, the added keel really brings it to life and differentiates it from other peapod builds.

Back in Jan. 2022, Chuck Bauer was the speaker for an NRG Online Workshop titled 'Stategic Detailing.' At the start Chuck pointed out reasons for adding details to a model as: "Improving the visual appeal of the model, adding historic accuracy and differentiating it from others." Your observation confirms I am hitting his bullet points. I appreciate your comment and observation. Thank you.
