Last two pictures I promise I added the beckets using 1.3 mm tan rope from Ropes of Scale. They look awesome and I stained the base and I’m done I might just make a little case for it so I can put on my shelf with out it collecting dust!
Very nice, you did a great job on your dory.

You should really enjoy the completion of your first ship boat, and now we wait to see what you plan to build next.
I really appreciate your detailed build log. I just hit a point on this build that made me think I messed up and mis-aligned the height of the transom and how the sheer strake aligns with the stern cleat…but based on your detailed photos I think I might be ok and just having beginner’s panic.

Very nicely done. Now just add a photo of your Dory to your profile pic. 
Sure. I flipped the model over to try and get a better angle on the spot. I was dry fitting the sheer strake when I noticed it. Based on photos in the instructions I thought the top of the sheer strake should be level with the top of the stern cleat. If that’s accurate then I need to tear out the transom and realign it.
Nice build, I was wondering what kit you were building. I now see the 3 model skill building kit you got on Model Expo… and it’s on sale! Thanks.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR SPOT ON DONT FORGET YOU STILL HAVE THE CAP RAIL TO GO ON ALSO LOOK AT THE PROFILE IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOK I THINK YOUR SPOT ON AND DONT HAVE TO MESS WITH IT!
Music to my ears! I probably should have grabbed the cap rail to see how it lines in too. It’s been a fairly enjoyable build!…well, all except for that one day I snapped the stem while putting rubber bands on and had to fix it. But otherwise having a great set of instructions and good quality parts is quite the positive experience!
