After the trim is added I decided to go ahead with the stand so the finished hull has a nice place to sit. The kit comes with a beautifully styled stand that I will slightly augment. After studying the construction, it appears to be two legs front and back, with a channel for the keel, and connected by some faux planks consisting of a single sheet which is simply folded into a channel at the bottom, and glued to each leg top in a sort of “wing” shape around the leg tops. After some thought I decided I would use the piece to create actual planks instead and glue them in using the same pattern. Some pics of the pieces. The planks are uncut as the original kit comes, except front and back to be glued back together.
