Thank you trust your enjoying the build as much as I'm putting it together. Cheers.following your build and enjoying it.
Oh Heinrich great encouragement thank you. I started second planking and to my horror the mahogany battens kept breaking. Very disappointing quality veneer. Almost to scared to look at some pieces in case they crumble before my eyes. Sadly there are no NZ outlets from which to resupply these discarded batten strips. I remain perplexed sitting here chewing glue off my fingers wondering how this journey is to proceed apart from with extreme patience and perseverance.That hull looks shipshape ! Now on to that second layer.
Hi Cons. This result is a beautiful hull with a nice shape. I live the dark colored wood.At last after many frustrations, jointed bits and restarts. Hull was finished and ready for the next build stage. Had I had a proper camera with macro lense the roughly joined broken bit would be very and embarrassingly visible. We say thanks for wood filler
