Continuing.........While the deck was setting up I turned my hand to the cabin windows and side walls. The pictures tell the story.

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.

This one is fun watching it come together Mike.....

[madharry]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great job on the boats Mike!  This kit looks like it contains quite a collection of mini kits.   

[madharry]

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.

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!

My hat is off to you Mike. I probably just bought pre-made pallets. Life is too short.

Mike,

Great job on the boats and the pallets.
