Well I have the final photos in the complete section, but you know what I never added the build log here at MSB.

So I got a little free time here so I thought i would add this build for the fun. Their famous for cruising the river Thames.

I had a whole lot of fun bashing this little cruizer

Mario,
Looks like fun. But I imagine difficult to get those 2mm mahogany planks to follow some of those sweet lines. I didn't quite understand about the filler blocks not being thick enough. Aren't they governed by the frames/bulkheads? And how did you correct the problem?

Hi Tom

Well my opinion only but Constructo material is very poor. The filler blocks never reach the tops of the frames so i had to add more material and then sand it flush to the edges of the frames....

I still have the plans and if i were to build another one it will be from my home stock which is much better in quality...
