CapnJack43 Posted Saturday at 07:34 PM Author Share #37 Posted Saturday at 07:34 PM Didn't like the bread and butter longboat that came with the kit so I decided to order a longboat from model expo. Kit came in a plastic bag with no photo and a single sheet of printed instructions and the photos on the sheet were so dark that I could not figure out what they were trying to show. Found some links on this site from other builders that helped clear things up. Dave_E, Kenneth Powell and JacquesCousteau 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnJack43 Posted Saturday at 07:41 PM Author Share #38 Posted Saturday at 07:41 PM Chainplates with deadeyes are done - made another jig with an alligator clip to hold them level while gluing them to the hull. Chain did not come with the kit - bought some chain in Walmart and secured to the hull with pins. JacquesCousteau and Dave_E 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnJack43 Posted Saturday at 07:43 PM Author Share #39 Posted Saturday at 07:43 PM Bow rail did not line up after gluing it together. Used a piece of strip wood and alligator clips to get the proper spread. Dave_E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
