I'll try and get the wooden deck on today

Hi just a little progress, I must say it's a nice detailed model but the fit is is very poor an awful lot of sanding and whitling to fit so to speak something I don't enjoy :sad:

If you PM me your address I'll send you this. You should find it helpful for some of the rigging. I won't be using it anymore.

John

p.s. It might take a week or two in the old birch bark canoe to cross the pond.

Bri62 · Nov 23, 2023

Hi John P.M. sent

Bri62 · Nov 23, 2023
