05-Apr-2010

After coming back from a great Easter Break, I hurriedly completed the hull by fitting the two balsa blocks at the stern and sanded them down to match the contours of the hull. I started by placing the blocks in situ and marked around the cutoff points with a pencil. I then used the Dremel to quickly remove the bulk of the excess.

Once the blocks were roughly the correct size and shape, I glued them in place and continued to shape them with coarse sandpaper. Finally, I applied some filler in the small gaps and then did a final sanding once it had hardened.

Quite happy with the boat as it stands and will soon start work on the other parts.

More soon!
