This is a short summary of the build in the six weeks i was on board. This is my 'workshop'  This is the box with the kit.  As the kit looks very basic I wanted to add some extras and go more to the actual situation  I want to try to get closer to this  I found some PDF files with drawings in the MSW forum and decided to use these as a reference.  I made some mock up frames on both sides from tong depressors out of the medical cabinet (no wood suppliers at sea).  Made some limber strakes, left the limberboards out because im planning to make a shotlocker and pump casing.  I made a few riders and constructing a pump well from some left overs from my President kit.  Finished the pump well and made a storage rack.  Put some ballast cargo and fabricated a shot locker.  Finished the shot locker, put the barrels in the ballast and finished the orlop deck.   | ||
