Day 1 of 4...
Finished cutting all bulkheads from 3/8 ply. Reduced three 8 x 4 sheets to what looks like very little... Drawing final cuts tonight directly onto bulkheads for day 2. I'd add pictures but someone will need to tell me 'how' before I can... anyone?
Tomorrow... all internal bulkhead cuts should be completed...

Day 3-4...
All 16 bulkheads cut and shaped. 5 now in position on first part of keel. Pictures available but I don't know how to post them up... they exceed the file size.

You will need to resize your pictures and make sure that they are in an acceptable format, such as .jpg.

There are many differrent ways of resizing a picture, which depends entirely on your editing software and operating system. To get you a bit more familiar though, if you have the picture file in a window or on the desktop right click on it and click on Properties. You should then be able to see the file size. Use whatever method you have to resize the picture after which you need it to be less than 195 kb.

If you are still stuck let us know what your image editing software is and we can give you more detail.

We certainly want to see the progress of this model!!

Im totally wrecked! Major problem with number 4 bulkhead but otherwise, all going according to plan. Bulkhead 1-11 completed, 1-5 in place on keel and sealed. I'll get to grips with uploading the photos tomorrow. Im off to play some music- guitar, drums, bass, whichever comes to my hands first. Oh... and a few beers!

i use a program called image shrinker its completely idiot proof unlike me and takes all the hard work out of resizing your photos . You can download a demo from here http://www.dsbglobal.com/ishrink/

Nice find Guy and it would be cool to be in it cruising around a lake,I think my parents would kill me if I brought something like that home.
