I have been remiss in not posting anything for a little while. Darryl himself posted a build some years ago. So I think it is high time an amateur had a go.First up the obligatory box and contents shots...............
Mike
Mike,
Good to see you back building. I've always liked this kit and will be following along this adventure.
Tom ;D
Good to see you back modeling Mike. I'll definitely be following.
Thanks for following Tom and Curt.
The kit has a lot of parts numbered over two pages in the manual. In order to make it easy for me I carefully cut out the page so I can have it in front of me rather than searching through the manual.
First up are the main walls to which I applied a coat of A&I. I kept the walls in their carrier sheets to try and minimize warping. However I still had to keep them under weights for a few hours....
Darryl painted the prototype a fetching green. I favoured a blue and decided on French Blue. I then roughly painted this onto the walls. I did not want to be too neat as I wanted to start the weathering process early in the build.
Mike
The wall is in two parts and needs to be glued together. I used my ruler to ensure they lined up correctly. All the edges were sanded prior to this to ensure a snug fit.
The studding panel and trusses are made from laser cut RIB. I left the interior walls just stained with A&I. The parts were all glued to the inside of the wall. The trusses are differing sizes. In the instructions I found that part 4 should be positioned for part 6 and vice versa.
Enough for today as I am on the BBQ with lamb burgers and leek pork sausages. Yum.
Mike
Mike,
Great start to this neat kit !
Tommy
Excellent start Mike.
I have this to build in N-scale , so I'll be following along Mike.
Mike
Interesting kit. Good to see a new build thread - I will be following along.
I'll be watching, Mike.
Neat looking kit. Does it come with the wharf? I like your choice of colour. I do think that shade of blue does need to be well weathered. I'm a bit guilty of using that shade more than I should as I like it so much.
Cheers, Mark.

Yes it comes with a wharf. I agree the blue needs to be well weathered. Thanks Mark
Thanks for following Tommy, Curt, Jan and John.
Mike
There is a lot of scale wood in the kit all neatly colour coded. The walls require some square stock painted white. I used some sand paper the de fuzz the wood before painting it. With the residue of the white paint I dry brushed the blue walls to age them further.
The window frames need to be prepared. They are all made from brown laser cut RIB. The instructions call for them to be painted white. I decided to spray paint them grey instead.
Mike
Interesting looking structure/kit. I can't wait to see what you do with it Mike. I like your choice of colors too. ;)
Like other have mentioned, interesting kit. I like the color choice that you decided. I'll be along for the build, appreciate you sharing.
-Steven
hey Mike:
Can't wait to see what you do with this one.
Karl
very nice aged paint effect.
Thanks for following Bob, Steven, Karl and Curt.
Mike :)
The white painted stock was weathered in A&I before being glued in three places to the wall. Then batons were trimmed around the door space so the door frame would fit snugly against the wall.
Mike
Working on other walls. Trimming batons and adding frames. Two individual walls are glued together lined up on the ruler to ensure they are level.
Mike
A little late to the game Mike, after a bit of internet problems from last Friday, but I will be looking in. :)
Thanks for following Greg.
Mike
I decided to stray from the instructions.............
I unglued the frames from the walls. The mullions have to be glued in from the rear. Unfortunately unless the frames are positioned perfectly, the spacing of the edges of the mullions will not be perfect. They were not and looked decidedly bad. I decided to add the mullions first. This takes a little effort as they tend to slip right through the window space unless one uses a finger to hold them while the glue sets up. I positioned them slightly open. But you do need to leave a gap at the bottom for the sill (how do I know this?). Then the frame can be glued on from the front ensuring the edges around the the mullions within the frame are evenly spaced. Phew......... I did not paint the mullions as I like the slightly weathered look from the laser cutting process.
Mike
Sounds very tedious but looks great.
Thanks Curt, yes it is a little. Here is the main seaward wall. The instructions call to trim the battens around the window spaces in order to fit the grey frames. Then add the window mullions. I have found it easier to glue the mullions in first before triming the battens in order to centre the mullions nicely within the frames. The spaces are pretty close to a #8024 Tichy 6/6 double hung window just in case someone wanted to substitute them for the laser cut ones.........
Mike
Pressing on........ the battens need removing to bed down the frames..........
Continuing............
The completed wall
Now to do the same on the upper walls.............
The inside edge of the top of walls need to be chamfered to allow the roofing to fit flush to the top of the wall.
Mike
Hey Mike:
Walls look just great. Keep up the good work.
Karl
Thanks for your kind comments Karl.
Mike :)
Moving along with the walls...........
Mike
Looks great Mike.
Looks like an interesting structure. Keep up the good work.
Thanks very much Curt and Bob. Yes it is certainly an interesting structure.
Continuing............
Mike,
The build is coming along nicely. It will be a winner for sure.
Tom ;D
Thanks for the encouragement Tom. Much appreciated.
The three deck components were glued together. Once dry the deck was flipped over and using a template lines were drawn to mark the location of the joists.
Mike
The deck completed and the dolly for the boat constructed along with the rails on the deck.
I purchased the detail kit which includes some interesting items.
I built two bookcases, three filing cabinets, a desk and a chair.
Mike
Very nice Mike. I love all the details especially the boat cradle.
Thanks Curt for your kind comments. Moving on next to the shop benches. It is suggested that you stain the parts. I chose not too as mine seem to warp terribly and with such tiny parts it can mean trouble. Here is one completed shop bench. I found that parts 64 were missing from my kit. No matter there is plenty of spare material in the sheets containing the kits parts. I just found some of the right thickness and cut a couple of pieces to fit. My blade shows the new part.
Mike
Looking really good, Mike.
Some nice interior details there.
Cheers, Mark.
Those look great.
Might try either weathering powders or pan pastels for coloring small parts.
Thanks Mark. Bob, thanks for the suggestion I have now used some magic markers to enhance the detail.
Mike
Continuing with the details. The office walls (forgive the pinups), some shelving with individual drawer pulls and the stone office floor.
Mike
Awesome! I like seeing kits with interiors, I can wait to have a go at making a kit with an interior and lighting.
-Steven
Thanks very much Steven.
Mike
Continuing................the deck has slots for the tabs on the walls to fit in. After cutting off the outside battens on the tabs I found great difficulty in aligning the walls to the slots. Maybe my deck is a little warped. In the end I decided to cut off the tabs completely and glue the walls to the decking. I found that my side walls were longer than the original slots. This meant whilst most of the walls covered the original slots the front wall did not. However the slots are behind the wall on the inside (second picture taken from above) and once the doors are fitted they will not be seen.
Mike
Continuing...........I found the stone floor for the side work bay did not fit. Probably due to my finding my sidewalls were a bit longer than normal. I found a piece of wood from my scrapbox and glued this to the side and then pared it down until it fit the space. I am left with a gap at the end near the office wall which I will attempt to fill when the glue sets up.
Mike
Looking great Mike.
Thanks for the encouragement Curt, it is much appreciated.
Mike
Continuing................there are a lot of items in the detail kit. I am working on the four workbenches. The legs took a bit of thought. They are made of two pieces glued at ninety degrees to each other. I found this difficult to do in one sitting. So I glued one set of single legs (16) to all the tables and let the glue set over night. Today it is relatively simple to add the extra legs. Voila..............
Mike
Continuing..................some views of the little office.
Mike
That is so nice to see .
Hello Mike, I'm enjoying your build and I especially like your interiors. I don't have any seaside areas on my mid- ohio layout, so I'm always jealous of the marine kit builds that I see on the forum. Jeff
The interior looks awesome Mike.
I really enjoy seeing builds with interior detail, and yours is looking great!
-Steven
Great Job Mike! Looking goooodddd...
Your tabs not lining up on the deck has me perplexed. I pulled two other kits at random and measured the parts to see if they would fit. I can't figure out why your's is that far out. From your photos, it looks like you did all the assembly correctly. Please let us know if you have any unsolvable issues and we can send you new parts if needed.
BTW, you are going to hate me for all the cross boards that you are going to do when you get to the pilings.... but that's what makes it look prototypical!!
Keep on gluing!

Thank you Steve. I cannot take praise for the interior detail as I am just following instructions.
Mike
Darryl,
No problem as I do not need any parts. I am enjoying the challenge! BTW the other parts have not turned up yet.
Mike
Continuing.............the skylight walls have been glued in using superglue...........
Mike
Continuing................this little sheet is the clutter for the work benches and shelves posed against a canadian $2 coin.
Mike
Hey Mike:
Looking just great so far.
Karl
Coming along nicely Mike!
Looking great, Mike!
Those interiors look fantastic.
Cheers, Mark.
Thanks very much Carl, Mark and Mark for your kind comments.
Mike :)
Continuing..........
I painted the "clutter sheet" various colours before adding the clutter to the shelving unit.
Mike
I didn't understand where you were going with the grid paper (or wood) yesterday but it looks great on the shelves.
Same here. Had to wait to see what was going to happen.
Thanks Curt and Bob for following. Yes the clutter turned out OK.
Mike
Continuing...........the posts holding up the accordion wall were a ..........pain! I found I could not glue them in place in one go and decided to allow the posts to set up overnight. The diagonals were difficult to place due to the limited access. In the end superglue and a pair of tweezers succeeded where my fat fingers and PVA failed............
Mike
Continuing............here are some of the 3D printed items in the kit ready for painting.
Mikie
Mike
Great modeling - love the interior details.
Thanks very much John. There is certainly a lot of details within the kit.
Continuing..........there is a little clock hanging on the wall of the office. Just in case I mess up the kit includes three as a bonus. There are also two welding carts to be made.
Here are the pictures...........
Mike
Great job Mike. Yikes those parts are small.
Good job on those itty-bitty parts. Well, the whole build was very well done.
Hey Mike:
Looks just great. Can't wait to see more progress with the detail items.
Karl
Thanks Curt, Bob and Carl.............yes I agree the 3D parts are quite small. I painted the door knobs a brass colour and glued them to the doors. You might need a magnifying glass for the first picture!
Mike
The details are looking great! This is a step, that I need to improve on. Appreciate you sharing your process.
-Steven
Thanks Steven.
Here are some pictures of the details placed within the boatworks. The cat is called Ben.
Mike
Beautiful modeling Mike.
Thanks very much Curt it is much appreciated.
Mike
Continuing........
The roofs on the model feature standing seam metal roofing. The roofing parts are made of RIB featuring grooves. 1x3's have to be carefuly glued in the grooves to form the standing seams.To conserve wood supplies I used a Chopper to cut them to roughly the right length. Then I used my fine nosed PVA bottle to apply glue before carefully pushing the 1x3's into the grooves. Time for nice soothing music.........Even with a little glue the roof boards started to warp..........Only another six roofs to go............
Mike
Holy Cow Mike! That looks terrific. Also looks like quite a challenge! :o Super job!
Thanks Bob. At the moment the site will not let me post any pictures.
Mike
Continuing......
Continuing...........
Continuing..........
Continuing.......
So I have a problem. I can post pictures but not comment as the same time.
The roofs warp with very little glue so I used carpet tape on the back.
Continuing........bi-fold doors added.
Mike
Small tip. When you apply glue to the grooves start half way down . As you push the wood from right to left the glue will flow to the end without puddling. Giving a neater job.
Mike
Mike,
Getting caught up on all the builds. Great job on this one, looks excellent.
Tom ;D
Looks excellent Mike.
Hello Mike, I have a standing seam roof on my next build, so I'm very interested in how your's turns out. Everything so far looks great. Jeff

Thanks Jeff. I think the roofs worked out quite well. Here I have primed them with grey primer.
Mike
Mike,
It's looking really nice sir !
Tommy
Coming on really nicely, Mike.
Cheers, Mark.
this is really looking good Mike
hey Mike:
this is coming along really well. Like the colors you chose. Can't wait to see more.
Karl
Great coloring Mike. Keep up the great work.
Jerry
Tommy, Steve, Mark, Karl and Jerry thanks very much for your very kind remarks.
The kit comes with two Seabiscuit 24ft cruisers. Here is one I made earlier. I will attempt to describe how I go about making the kit with the second one........
Mike
Mike,
The wooden hull cruisers are what I remember from my youth. I'm surprised I can even remember, period. :-X
Nicely done on the kit and boat.
Tom ;D
Thanks very much Tom it is appreciated.
Mike :)
Continuing.........the boats are a little tricky at first.
My glue of choice is superglue for this kit because I found PVA would need an overnight to set properly.
Here are the parts of the kit with some parts painted or stained. I have covered the window parts self-adhesive foil. However you could just paint them with silver paint.
Here are a group of pctures showing the construction. There are eleven glueing points here so superglue comes in handy to keep it all together quickly.
Mike
Continuing..........I stained the deck with a Furniture Touch UP Marker. I used PVA this time as I want a precise fit so a lip forms on the underside by the overhang.
Mike
Great job with all the fiddly parts. Too small for me.
You are so right Curt. How Jan builds this kit in N scale is beyond me.
Mike
Continuing.........While the deck was setting up I turned my hand to the cabin windows and side walls. The pictures tell the story.
Mike
Continuing........the hull sides have been painted white. I found that they warped badly and had to coax them back from a reverse curve with my fingers. I used superglue to attach them to the recess formed by the upper deck. Line the back of the hull with the rear of the boat and then work your way to the front.
Mike
hey Mike:
time to build the boat. Have fun. I'm following along.
Karl
This one is fun watching it come together Mike..... 8)
Thanks Karl and Greg. I used superglue to stick the four parts of the hull together. There was a slight gap where the green parts of the hull joined. I filled this some DAS clay and then painted over it.
Mike
Looks great Mike.
Thanks Curt. Last stretch I added the steering wheel. The front windows are a little fiddly but I got there in the end.
The final pictures...................
Mike
More boats............there are two resin skiff castings in the kit. There are details provided for the floor planks and seats. Unfortunately only one sheet was provided to do one skiff. I improvised for the second one cutting my own seats and planks.
Mike
The boat looks great! I been wanting to try a craftsman boat build. I have built a few large scale styrene WWII battleships, and they were a ton of fun.
-Steven
Great job on the boats Mike! This kit looks like it contains quite a collection of mini kits. ;D
Mini-kits in abundance! Here is the process for building 18 real wooden pallets. Three runners per pallet are glued to the upper pallet decks and then the lower deck boards are glued on top.
Mike
Finished with the pallets. With the drop outs from the laser cut sheets I decided to create an extra large pallet piled with off cuts. Waste not want not!
Mike
My hat is off to you Mike. I probably just bought pre-made pallets. Life is too short. ;D
Mike,
Great job on the boats and the pallets.
Tom ;D
Nice looking boats and pallets.
Jeff
Great job Mike , hope we can meet again in the nearby future.
The boats look great Mike..... 8)
Thanks very much Curt, Tom, Jeff and Greg. Jan I do not know when we will meet again but I hope it is sooner rather than later.
Here are some details I have been working on today.
Cheers everyone!
Mike
Very nice Mike.
Hey Mike:
The details are coming along nicely.
Karl
Thanks for your support Curt and Karl.
Continuing.......I add the outside frame for the storage shed plus a pile of wood made from the off cuts of the kit.
Mike
Continuing.........the kit includes self adhesive aluminium foil tape and a plastic corrugator tool to make corrugated roof panels. You basically cut the tape to size and then rub back and forth to press the corrugations in. I will leave that to next time!
I had in my stash some Campbells panels that I had already etched with ferric chloride. So...........here are the pictures.
Mike
The corrugated roofing on the overhang looks incredible! I also really like like the way you did your walls.
-Steven
Beautiful rust/weathered patina.
Mike great job on the boats.
And the roofing is very natural looking with the right amount of rusting.
Jerry
Thank you Steven, Curt and Jerry for your very kind comments.
Continuing.............I cut the wharf piles and stained them with A&I before attaching them to the beams on the underside of the boatworks.
Mike
Hey Mike:
This is coming along very nicely. Can't wait to see what you do with the dock.
Karl
Thanks Karl.
Continuing.........I added the diagonal bracing planks to the posts. The planks are supplied in a laser cut sheet however I found I was short by three so I cut some from scrap.
Mike
Looks beautifully done Mike.
Thanks very much Curt. :)
Continuing..........I made the wharf curbs and glued them to the decking. I tried fitting the previously built roofs to the building. Roofs one and two fit around the side of the building and the opening was not wide enough to fit properly. I carefully measured and cut from both sides until they fitted. Before I fit them I need to add the rafter rails. Unfortunately the cutouts in the walls are not wide enough for them to fit. There are 48 of them. So I have to figure an easy way to fit them?
Mike
The solution with the rafters was to rub them down with 120 grit sand paper until they were thin enough to fit into the wall openings...............
Mike
Continuing...............
Here are the first set of rafters fitted. Just another three lots to go. TIP where the rafter fits into a hole into the wall at the back, file the tip arrow-like otherwise you may encounter some difficulty.
Mike
Continuing...........because part of the building rests on the shoreline and subsequently the wharf posts/piling is at the front of the model; the model is unstable and I have put a red pot on it to balance it. The next part of the model construction requires it to be stable. So I have cut a piece of gatorboard 15 inches wide and 16 inches deep for my base. I have traced in the shoreline and I need to build up the scenery to anchor the building.
Mike
Continuing.............the shoreline is built up using cheap packing foam. It is cheap and it will keep the module light.
Mike
Progress continues looking good Mike.
Jerry
Mike,
I really like what you've done with this kit. Great thread my friend.
Tom ;D
Thanks Tom I am
trying to -post but the system will not let me post pics ar the moment.Mike :-[
Mike
Great build! I'm following along and enjoying your thread. I'm looking forward to your update - when the computer gremlins go away.
Thanks John.
Continuing..........I have started on the floating dock. This is made over an included template. I used double sided tape to keep the dowels in place. Then glued four beams. I then cut 44 pieces of 2x8 for the decking. The kit does not include any 2x8's. This was not a problem as I had some in stock. After I had cut and stained them with A&I I discovered on page 47 of the instructions that they should be 4x8's. So page 46 states 2x8's and page 47 states 4x8's. So it would have paid me to have read ahead. Any way I decided to use my 2x8's...............
Mike
Nicely done Mike.
Looking good.
Hello Mike, good job on the base and with the whole build. It will look great when completed. Jeff
Thanks Curt, Bob and Jeff for your nice comments.
Continuing.................Here is the floating dock. I added bolt heads to the completed platform. The kit suggests using tiny spots of glue and then painting when dry. Maybe my glue is a different compostion because the glue disappeared. No problem I had some in stock any way.
Mike
Next up are the gang planks with slip treads...........
Mike
Continuing............
Fitting the rafters..........there are an awful lot of these and I had to carefully thin them in order to fit into the holes and grooves.
Mike
Excellent attention to detail.
Loving all the fine details!
-Steven
Thanks very much Curt and Steven.
Continuing........the last roof has been completed. I think it looks great.
Mike
Hey Mike:
It's looking just great. Keep the pics flowing.
Karl
Thanks Karl. I will just keep modelling along.
Mike
It's a shame to cover them up.
Man, I agree. All that great work, soon to be hidden. Looking forward on seeing how it all turns out.
I agree Curt and Bob it is a great shame covering them up..............
Continuing................I have been trying to get the landform looking OK. Unfortunately all my ground cover materials are at my holiday home which I am not allowed to visit under UK Gov't regulations until at least 02 December. I did find some real iron ore rocks though which I have used t the shoreline. The water is a combination of five colours = green, blue, black, tan and white.I think the colour looks OK so I have applied a first coat of Mod Podge.........
Mike
Continuing...............Here are the roofs added to the building insitu on the landscape base.
Mike
Excellent Mike.
Hello Mike, what a great job on the base and the building looks very natural sitting on your waterfront space. I really like the water color. Jeff
Thanks very much Curt and Jeff.
Continuing.............I have decided to deviate slightly. The front of the building has a canopy above the doors. I have made and painted the canopy but have decided not to use it. I like the inside detail and have spent quite a bit of time constructing the desks and tables etc. I think the canopy reduces the view of the interior and have decided to cover the pre-existing holes with a painted beam instead.
Mike
Mike beautiful detail on the roof framing!
Overall a outstanding job.
Jerry
Thanks very much Jerry, it is much appreciated.
Continuing..............I have applied a beam above the doors to hide the holes in the wall. The sign, floating dock, cradle and a boat have been added.
Mike
And a few more.............
Mike
Very cool looking with all the details.

Hi Jan, I hope you are OK. The build is chalenging but I am enjoying the journey, There is a lot to come. But I will be adding a few surprises.....
Mike
Continuing.............
A lot of patience was required for these little suckers. I found PVA warped the thin platforms so I used superglue in the end.
Mike
Great work. Glad I won't have a water front.
Hello Mike, I agree with Bob, great work. My rural Ohio layout doesn't have any waterfront areas, but I sure have enjoyed watching you build this kit. Jeff
Thanks Bob and Jeff.
More progress............
Mike
Mike,
Great job on the floating dock. Nicely done also on the diorama for the structure.
Tom ;D
Love the stairs/walkway. Excellent modeling all the way around.
She's really coming along quite nicely Mike! :) What an interesting/intricate structure. You're doing a great job with it.
Thanks Tom, Curt and Bob for your nice comments. It is not really me just a challenging kit. Here are a few pictures of the slipway, gantry and the other cruiser which I have moored to the side. Still a lot of work to come................
Mike
Final pictures of the diorama.
My verdict: This was a challenging kit but is very much value for money.
Niggles: the trimming of the battens on the walls to place the window frames was a pain and was the thinning of the rafter rails. There are a fewtypos in the instructions and some parts are wrongly labelled on the parts sheet. I found I did not have enough plastic C channel material and had to
fudge the slipway.
Plus points: This is a great kit. The detailing extras kit is well worth the money for the interior details. It included a Model T Ford kit but sadly that defeated me.I plan to light the building with the included LED's when I finally place the diorama on a layout thus I have left the roofs removable. The kit includes too many palletsfor this diorama and I have enough for many other models. Ditto scale wood as I am left with stacks of it for other projects.
Mike
Pictures to follow...........
Here they are.............I added lots junk wood and other bits to enhance the scene.............
Until next time................
Mike

Hi Harry
I am finding your build blog very helpful, thanks
Can anyone give me some help on the position of part 37, the larger arch door way, attached to the front bay wall. It says 1 inch below the peak of the front bay wall but the diagram shows a line above the top of the front bay wall. Not sure what is intended. Is 1 inch below the top of the front bay.
