Continuing my repair process, and cleaning up some of the ship, I got a good bit of work done on the Transom. It took a couple bumps and bruises along the way, and some of the paint had shipped off the figures, and created some blemishes on the black. Also – I wanted to touch up the window frames a bit. Augie did such an awesome job with the window “glass” that I wanted to even out the finish and color of the frames to match the rest of the smooth look and feel of what he had going.
The BAD new is – I jacked up the cove in the process (Sorry Augie!) so I had to rebuilt / reshape it. WHAT A BEAST. This gained me an entirely new appreciation for Chuck’s laser cut parts! *laff*
After much soaking, shaping, breaking, re-soaking and re-shaping, I finally got the cove repaired and replaced and stained to match.
The GOOD news is – this marked a small milestone in which I could fully press on with new progress and moving forward with the build.
