Shipyard is a new kit for me and has more complexity than previously modeled.

What a fun project, Curt!

I just thought I'd attach this link for those (like me) who want to have a further investigation of this incredible kit.  Note:  There is a further link with more detail photos within this link.

The ship under construction will be a fantastic build, and very different.  I'll be following along with your progress.  Is your model to go on your layout?  If so, it would be great to see how you plan to incorporate it.

Cheers, Mark.

Couple of pictures of a diorama by Dave Revelia of a shipyard.
Maybe you get some ideas from them.

Present Curt! It looks like a big footprint.

What sander are you borrowing from Terry?

Good Morning,

Well it's been almost a month to do what should of taken several days. The recent family upheaval which continues and the prolonged illness have not been fun but I'm back at it now.

Thank you Rick, Larry, Mike, Jeff, Jerry, Rich, Mark, Philip, and Tom for following along and for your kind words and patience.

Rick thanks for the shipyard photo.

Mark thanks for the video.

I have completed planking the main building. Obviously, there is a ton of stuff to be done to them yet. The angled windows were a pain to trim.

The photos show how the walls went together.
