The BigRedBatCave: Shipbiilding II

Monday, 22 July 2013

A brief update; I've added steering oars and the mast. Could still do with some details, perhaps an awning over the stern.

Next I need to think about painting her, I'd ideally like to find a wood-coloured spray primer, to save time.

BigRedBat said...: Hi Michael, it is 23cm long, by just under 7cm wide.

There are ships that would be great for you, I should imagine; the Zvezda Thomas, subject of a future post...; 22 July 2013 at 10:47

BigRedBat said...: Welcome on board, Sean!

Oppressive weather is preventing me from painting the ship, but I'll hopefully be able to make time to make a start on assembling its bigger sister.; 23 July 2013 at 17:38
