The hull is growing steadily as more of the stern structure comes together. While assembling these sections means wrestling with countless tiny screws in increasingly cramped spaces, the finish line for the hull framework is finally in sight. With around 40% of the entire model now completed, only a few more hull panels remain before this lengthy construction phase is behind me.
As expected, another hull section. I have to admit, I am really glad this part of the build will be finished soon — tightening all those tiny Allen screws is not exactly the most enjoyable task.
This time I actually had one screw that I could not tighten at all, no matter what I tried. Fortunately, it is located in an area with plenty of other screws around it, so the hull section should still be held securely. Hopefully this can be fixed later.
40% of all parts have now been added to the model.
The next hull section has now been installed on the port side at the stern. I have to admit, I'll be glad when the hull assembly is finally complete, tightening the screws in these cramped spaces at the stern is quite a challenge. Fortunately, only two hull sections remain before this part of the build is finished.
