It's a little cold and bleak here in the Tamar Vally so . . . . . .
As I'm now fabricating part of the stern, at deck level, prior to spray priming I thought it best to have a quick peek at the bigger fittings that came with this kit.
Two packs of sailcloth, six rolls assorted threads (not sure I'll be going with black though . . . just too black), brass rods, wires and strips and a bunch of assorted, but detailed, white metal bits.
There are two little bits (bottom left) that act as shock absorbers for the two main sheets and I need to plan how to install one of these into the hole in the transom assembly . . . mmmm……..
Now looking at the blocks and deadeyes (there are another 20 or so on the laser cut parts). I really need 16 year old eyes and fingers to even pick these bits up. But that's well in the future I guess.
Bought some Tamiya masking tape, primer, matt white and matt black . . . and button polish and matt lacquer for the decks . . . . more testing needed methinks
How on earth am I supposed to make around a hundred 1/64 x 3/64 inch scupper holes ?
Ah well !
