Mollusc Posted June 26 Share #1 Posted June 26 Hello from North Yorkshire! Just joined so I thought I'd put the kettle on - priorities of course. I've not built a model boat before, or anything out of wood so this place has been invaluable so far with my Billing boats Norden. It's a beginner's build for sure but going OK, apart from one gigantic mistake which I'll post a photo of soon. It's irreversible but I might get away with it if I lock it in a spare room... I'd like to say thank you for the inspiration so far and hope that I can emulate some of your skills in about 50 years time. Chat soon! ccoyle, KeithAug, Thukydides and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knocklouder Posted June 26 Share #2 Posted June 26 Mollusc this is the place to be, a lot of great advice and help here on NRG/MSW, start a log for your Norden and you'll see.

I don't even know what the parts are called yet; I've planked the hull but didn't do it alongside the back of the keel where it runs to the rudder.

Mollusc - I guess you are going to paint the hull. If this is the case just fill the area with wood filler and sand back to the required shape.
