“Wendera” 26/01/08 Both halves for you to fit together.
The first coat of undercoat is applied.
The saloon module is glued in place. Note the water tank. Cleaning up
the glue afterwards posed some awkward positions.
The galley module is glued in place. Glassing it in afterwards
was a job for a contortionist.
Remember that first coat of undercoat above? Well, it has all
been sanded back. You put it on, you rub it off!!
Starboard motor with exhaust pipes and muffler box.

You’re right. Same shot as last week!!
But look what’s been happening.

bogged again and rubbed back again. You’ll see the windows in
place next week.

No, they are not plots for burying anything. They are door jambs

All the time there are creations being routered and bogged ready
for cutting out doors.
Props are in place to support the bridge deck while the saloon
modules are glassed in. Yes, that’s the kitchen furniture again
upside down with all the joints glassed. Next week, the other side.

accomplished inside. Another short week with the New Year
break.

All the glassing around the windows in the roof was completed.
