Bluenose Model Shipways 1:64 Beautiful ship

The top of the transom had an open space. I believe in actuality this can be left as is because the carpal will fit on top. But being who I am I decided to dined it off with a piece of 1/32" stip which I blended in.



Everything was sanded smooth.

Getting ready to install the deck, I used a series of dill bits to turn the rectangular slots where the mast are to be placed into 5/16" round holes. I made sure the mast dowels would fit into each snugly.



The deck planking is 1/16 x 3/32" strip. In order to give them the look of being caulked, I took them and used a pencil to darken the edges. I this this by stacking them in groups of 5, holding them together with a clamp and darkening the edges. I found this process about as interesting as rat lining.
