It’s time I posted an update. Most of the superstructure is finished as is almost all of the hull details. I haven’t run into any substantial issues but it seems the ships boat situation uncovered by DRG is going to be something to think about.
I spent a substantial part of yesterday afternoon building the aft funnel. The funnel base is a complex fold (for me) and for the next 2 I’ll tackle them quite differently. Lessons learned.
The masts hahe really been on my mind lately. I use Modelkasten tungsten rigging wire so I could make them out of paper with no worries about sagging, but the resin ship modeler in me keeps eyeing the brass tube and the soldering iron. I’m reasonably sure at Thais point I’m going to build the masts from brass.
