Hello !!

The superstructure of the wheelhouse roof :

Hello!

I have a question to those that built the "Sentinel. It's about the wheelhouse roof and after cutting pieces 119 and 120.
FIG 13 on the book is not very clear!!!

Look at the pictures

Which piece to adjust (see red arrows) ......... I think of 120 to cut

Thank you for your answers

119 should sit squarely on top of 112 and 113. 120 should be chamfered along its rear edge to but against 119. The front edge should sit on 118 which should be chamfered to accept it. Finally the front edge of 120 should be chamfered to match the slope of 118.

Pieces 121 and 122 are then fettled to fit.

Bloomin heck Chris, that is a master class in soldering right there! Impressive control of thy soldering iron.

Chris67 · « **Reply #47 on:** November 27, 2015, 10:36:49 pm »

Hello !

Merci Sir Gazou !
To Ballastanksian : no soldering only Z-POXY Resin and Hardener 5 minute formula !!!
Very good and strong for metal ......

GAZOU · « **Reply #48 on:** November 28, 2015, 08:03:59 am »

Christian you take a big risk by trusting the glue 5 mn, it is not solid.
It is going to break in the first small shock
You have to weld these parts in the silver.

I like very much the SENTINEL, it is an attractive boat

Chris67 · « **Reply #49 on:** December 03, 2015, 09:12:38 pm »

Hello !

Work goes on ........
Setting and soldering yard arms and making of the towing stern light mast.

Question : are there "Sentinel" with another colour than grey ? I think about the white colour of the US Border Coast ships ...
