Hi, as promised on the glue/varnish threads I will post here the process of my first wooden boat build.
I started with the depron jig , glued it on shelf from my cabinet with few spots of contact cement to make sure the jig stays straight.(glad I only used tiny drops, the depron does not look like it likes that stuff)
Next was removing the bits from die cut sheets of ply ,sanding them a bit and plugging them on the jig.
(one frame bit was cracked a bit by me trying to get it out without checking was the piece die cut all the way...-was not- , drop of ca to the rescue)
That is all I have so far, still waiting the glue to arrive. -or should I go ahead with ca
-I guess it is best to wait a bit.
The propeller arrived as 2-bladed but with one extra blade rattling in the box
-not an issue since I want to use 4mm shaft so the prop choices are better.
Will soon order stuff from cornwall anyway.
So far everything looks really nice, the price was so cheap(78€ delivered) that I was excepting something like toy grade stuff but everything loos just as nice like my previous project build graupner bremen was.
Side note: looks like the kit has changed a bit, all the pics I´ve seen have brass railing and large decal sheet, this only has few Diva decals and steel rod(looks like stainless) to do the railings and stuff.
