| Got my wood yesterday from Hobbies of Dereham and got my other bits from Pandan models just waiting for the Prop shafts to arrive now and I took some photo of my boat as it is now,as last night I decided to remove the bow Sheeting as I wasn't happy how it was and part of the side sheeting too which I will replace with new Birch Ply.
I decided to remove the bow skins as they didn't look right for the boat as I wanted the front to look more like the real thing plus I need to extend the deck at the front as it was 10mm to short,so I will be filling that section in where the bow skins were with Balsa wood so I can get the right shape I need I also need to fit some new Birch Ply to the bottom of the boat where I removed the strips of Birch Ply.
As it should of been a complete piece instead of strips so I will cut a new piece for each side but will make a cardboard template first so the Ply sheeting fits right,I also need to glue abit more Balsa Wood in where I still have a hole on the bottom near the front of the boat as I ran out of Balsa Wood last time I worked on the boat.
I'll post a photo of the parts I bought for the boat later to night.
