ajromano Posted September 16 #1 Posted September 16 (edited) Got a bit lazy and just sloppy filled when I realized what a pain supplied planks did not bend worth a flip.

ajromano Posted September 16 Author #2 Posted September 16 Hull actually seems pretty good, unfortunately there is no reference drawing. I modified the “floor” by adding 1mm bass strips, give it some contrast. Tony Savannah, Georgia Multi hobby nut.
ajromano Posted September 16 Author #3 Posted September 16 I give up attempting to edit my almost incoherent description of planking….. ccoyle and king derelict 2 Tony Savannah, Georgia Multi hobby nut.

yvesvidal Posted September 17 #5 Posted September 17 The good stuff about these "barcos" is that they are usually fully painted. Therefore, caulking the hull and sanding it will never be a problem. Yves king derelict 1
ajromano Posted September 17 Author #6 Posted September 17 Kit calls for 2d planking. I may skip that. Have not thought of painting yet, working on the plywood upper bulkheads I guess we can call them. Kind of wish I had left this is the box today! 😂🤣😂🤣 Knocklouder and king derelict 2 Tony Savannah, Georgia Multi hobby nut.

ajromano Posted Saturday at 03:11 PM Author #12 Posted Saturday at 03:11 PM Over all this kit is a series of attempting to make squares round. I wonder if it is me or the kit. JacquesCousteau and Paul Le Wol 2 Tony Savannah, Georgia Multi hobby nut.
JacquesCousteau Posted Saturday at 04:17 PM #13 Posted Saturday at 04:17 PM I have no idea about this kit in particular, but it's pretty common for wooden boat kits to require a good bit of shaping to get everything lined up. One of the advantages of wood is that it's pretty easy to shape and, if there's a mistake, to glue back together. The model's coming along great!
