The last frame took a little extra persistence. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

It still looks like I have a little more trimming to do once they are glued in place.![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I didn’t want to get her half done and have to start over. My posts are about a week behind the current state of the model. She is still going a lot faster than most of my other builds. Hi Gary, The batch sanding is fairly accurate and saves some time although it doesn’t seem like it after you have been sanding for a couple of hours straight. LOL Mike | ||

I used some 1/16” dowel rods to attach the frames to the keel. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

The first blocks I used were too thin and had to be removed and replaces with thicker ones. The second set fit a lot better.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
