The Keel:
I was concerned about what type of glue to use on the two sections of the keel.
Well this morning I got the bug and decided to use the Titebond II I had on hand. I spread glue on one half of the keel as quickly as I could and pegged that section together. Then I quickly spread glue on the second half and pegged that. I found trying to hold 4mm pegs with tweezers in one hand and a small hammer in the other was quite the challenge or simply put a PIA.
Pavel used large water bottles as weights to keep the keel flat while the glue sets. These full gallon paint cans were handy, so....

Thanks, it's a slow start.
....sweet Jesus. That's all I'm asking of you. Just give me the strength to do what I have to do.
Thanks, it's a slow start but fun so far
Wow, you are a few steps ahead of me. Those are great photos, thanks.
Ah, thank you for that, reminds me of singing in the choir many man years ago.
Jan, are those paint cans for an upcoming Honey-Do list. If so are you shirking your duties.
NO,NO. I really don't like painting. Those are the backup paint cans for the Admirals 1:1 scale paint jobs. I do the Blue tape thing to help put, but she does the painting. I haven't been able to enlist her help painting my models.

The Keel:
The start of the char removal on the keel. I watched Pavel's video and he didn't seem to have any trouble holding the wobbly keel while cleaning up the char. I needed something more stable.
My solution.
This works great, I can do a section at a time and don't have to hold the keel with one hand and file with the other.

Yes, I have 2 flats each of ribs/bases, staves and bands and 1 flat of tops. The instructions, however, leave a little something to be desired. Sort of, "Here are the parts, here is what you make from them - you figure it out!" 
I think he was getting tired of drawing by the time he got to this point.
BTW Jan, I ordered and received my kit before you, yet my serial # is 68 and yours is 61. Not fair! I guess they're not sent out in order.

We can swap when you finish #68 and then you can then finish #61 and keep the lower serial numberJan
(Or we can swap just the number plates)
