I had this past week off and no honey do list, so plenty of model time f/a change. But will return to the grind Monday.
What I miss is seeing your threads............

As time goes by, my memory how to build paper model fade away, Rick san. I’m a little rusty on it. And viewing and appreciating others’ build does not cause me stiff muscles. I want to have a comfortable life for the near future.
Get back to your build, the chimney looks great. It enhances look of entire ship furthermore.

I understand my friend, my right hand gets stiff oft too. But I know your work and feel sad to know we might not get to see the master @ work again creating those works of wonder you produce. I do hope to see you checking in often, and please @ any time make whatever suggestion you see fit Yu San.
Got alittle bit more done today before that American Sport came on TV, Football................

The deck really looks good Rick.
Your improvisation for the cooks stove pipe worked out quite well.
And if I am correct, those rocket launch lugs are made of paper, then coated with something that hardens them.

I am applying the 2nd layer of the hull planking now. Then after this is done, you go back and apply ea. plank one @ a time clunker fashion. I hope to have this portion completed by this weekend.
Thanks for looking in RDK.

Rick san,

Planks look very smooth!
