Ryland - Looking forward to seeing your progress.  I used Dave's filed down nail technique on the Hannah windlass - worked well.

Thanks Chuck, Steve, B.E, John and Dave for your words of encouragement.  I also appreciate the “Likes” and those that have looked in on my build log.  I hope everyone has a Happy New Year and I look forward to finishing this model in the near future.

Over the past year, I have added the printed friezes and the molding strip.  I still need to paint the edge of the cap rail and molding strip white, but will wait till I am almost finished handling the model. I painted the waterline using Badger White and was dissatisfied with the color.  The white had a grey hue to it and I did not like it, so I painted over it using Model Master Acrylic flat white.  I am real happy with this color as it looks good with the white in the printed friezes.  I brushed the paint using Chuck’s technique of using water thin coats of paint.

Here is a stem view showing where the printed friezes meet at the stem.  I used Model Master Enamel Dark Sea Blue to paint the forward edge of the stem.  It was almost a perfect match for the printed friezes.

Here is a photo of the stern transom with the painted frieze.  I first painted the transom flat white. Then I cut out the printed frieze.  I did not use the printed white border since I had painted my transom white.  I glued it onto the transom using slightly diluted white glue.

I also have made the oars and the main mast and have started on the rudder.

I have a little work to do on the interior and then I will move on to the metal work.

Thanks again for your support and I look forward to posting my progress.

Thanks everyone for your comments.  I put this build on hold while I was building my Medway Longboat and some other projects.  I agree that it is time to get back to work on this model.  We have a couple of members of my club that are building this kit, so I plan on joining them as I am a little further along in my build.  It will be nice to see this kit finished.
