Building the Endurance

[Omega]

Starting a new Build log for the Endurance. I Know that several others are also building this ship and of course I will be cheching their builds to help with mine (thank you). But first a little info as to my reason for building these ships :-
1. I like doing it!
2. When finished I send them to my Grandson in a City 3,000 km away. I have already done this once with the Harvey build with no problems. It is all on how you box & pack the ships, (Perth to Melbourne)
3. I am getting older than I though I would get, so I need something to keep the Brain Active

Starting Slowly, I intend to make some additions to the kit (a least try to). I want to install a streering mechanism so the ships wheel actually works & I want to light the internal areas of the ship using LED lights. I had some internal problams with power supply to lights on the ship until I discovered the solution in another build log - An extrernal powers source (batteries) with power feed to the ship through the ship stand.( and the Keel). Well Here we go

Photos are coming in upside down again ??????. you should note I have drilled a hole from the rudder post to the rear deck so the rudder can be controlled. I also reinforced the section in this area
