Just need to get Benhall here as well now. Noco did say he was going to attempt to get the forum rerpaired this weekend, but nothing yet. Seems all the index files were deleted, so he will have to reinstall the forum. Luckily the datebase isn't damaged. Arrrrrrrrrrrr Have a k for starting your build diary here.  |

Still haven't done anything guys, just collecting issues, got caught with the Bismarck build, so a few issues in the bag will allow for any sudden changes to the kit.....Phil

Just had a look at the photo of where you are up to. Have you varnished the deck, if so what did you use it looks pretty good.

Hi Bob, yes it has been stained, I firstly gave it a coat of sanding sealer, then a light sand with extremely fine sandpaper, then a coat of clear satin stain, another light sand and a final top coat of clear satin....Phil

Thanks Phil
I'm about to start the lower hull planking not sure whether to follow the way it is in the instructions or to do it the correct way with tapering the strakes and using steeler planks, this will take longer but Ithink it would look better when finished
