the hull is starting to take shape. I'd add skim coats of filler to the rough areas of the hull, do something else for a while till it dried and then sand. the worst part was the first sanding....a lot of it. when I waited for the second application to dry, I started to think about how I was going to set him up good and proper....I wanted to start doing things on the deck { can't wait}. I have to include a short piece on the cradle.....it just looks so darn cute! LOL! the direction were very plain {I just looked at the picture}...my only regret is that I didn't get any "during" pictures, just some finished steps. I put it together and threw some wood brown paint at it...and it stuck!
while this was drying, i looked at the anchor boxes and cut out the parts for them.....and, of course...more sanding. I knew i had some felt buttons around her somewhere......ahhh, here they are. I put four buttons at each corner of the base and four on each of the posts.
I couldn't help it.....I fell in love! then I thought that i couldn't.......it might get damaged......so I made another. I went to the hobby store, got the necessary wood and made it up. I may put the felt buttons on it, but I haven't yet. I want to make a plaque in the center and make a decal for it...."the Nordkap 476" is what it will say.
and now, a sneak peak of what 'ole Nordie will look like in the next day or two.
you can see from the shading......there's more sanding.
