Today got to work on my build. I cut out the false keel, the frames and the stiffeners out of the laser cut sheets. The wood in the kit is great and the laser cuts seem to be right on so far. Began glueing the frames to the keel

Great start!! Fun kit. Am "kitbashing" mine to stand-off scale Northeastern (Deadliest Catch fame). By modifying wheelhouse and moving it forward and modifying stern (added some inches while sqaring it off) its coming out as a "reasonable facsimile".

Back at the work bench finally. Got planking finished with one coat of primer applied. Decking also completed with pencil rubbed on edge of every deck plank. Feels great to get back working on my Marina II.  Thanks for looking.

Hull is finally ready for paint

5a5a954e4ce6d_DSC00510-Edited.jpg.4be069d4bf4fb42c2c8be067e5b7ad78.jpg

 

This kit does not supply a display stand. Before I begin the painting of the hull..it needs a place to set and not directly on the workbench. I began work on a display stand I saw somewhere on the web. I enjoy challenging myself to building all my display stands and not using standard stands.

Some more sanding than either brown wash or stain to the stand.

Today all focus was getting the hull painted. Alot of time was spent taping off areas and painting all the colors. I did remember to take some pics thru the process.

Boat is in the stand and began working on all the deck fixtures. Enjoyed time on the hull but glad to be done. I been thinking about the idea of lighting my model.

Never done lighting but need to start planning for it now. Thanks for following...

Been awhile but got updated pics for my build. Alot of time been spent with sanding and painting. Enjoying this build and isn't that the reason we do this hobby. I believe the most important part of this hobby is having a comfortable chair...you will be spending alot of time in it. Thanks you checking in on my build.5a8caa879fbbe_DSC00540-Edited.jpg.32486177f32222f0fbaf8cf8f46a6cc1.jpg5a8caa9ce6da1_DSC00545-Edited.jpg.cdb12cf2d7d80108dd84cce7418e8133.jpg5a8caaa9e529e_DSC00547-Edited.jpg.cf365b533c84a0534f9e64847977a2b6.jpg5a8caabeb652f_DSC00548-Edited.jpg.bbed202fc21b63470a08f4d16e639aa6.jpg5a8caacbbf465_DSC00549-Edited.jpg.0e1769dfb8aad90085b3a8c29d0a0a63.jpg

I am a static model builder. This model can be radio controlled, there is room inside the hull for everything you need. This kit is made so the main cabin can be removed to access the inside of the hull. Hope this helps you... hof00. If you like pics of the space inside the hull, i will post.

With close inspection of the finished hull, I noticed two areas that planks opened up slightly. They were not really easy to see but they bothered me and I would not be happy with the finished model if I left it. The old saying you are your own worst judge on your models. 1910951383_DSC00561-Edited.jpg.25cdd0ac9de90a9cc1c7aaa93af9934a.jpg725882193_DSC00562-Edited.jpg.86841f6642718935a864228cb122ab63.jpg

sanding down then primed the hull again ....ready for paint

she looks really nice...very clean and vivid colors :)    my first build was like that......I found that not cementing between the planks allowed the gaps to show up in a big way.   I have this model in my stash.......your log will make for great reference.

Hi, not really my type of subject but seeing your work has really opened my eyes. Kit looks really well presented and they really knew how to pack all the parts onto that ply sheet didn't they.

 

Really in awe of your work and your stand is very impressive. Would also be nice in a diorama for when you are not sailing her.
