In the spirit of being challenged, I will be modeling my first boat/ship kit, Sierra West Scale Models - the Addison. There are a number of very cool and diverse models being built as part of this challenge. I saw a couple of waterfront structures being started so I thought no time like the present to break out a model of a boat and have a go at it in support of those structures.
Below is the kit and also a photo of the kits contents which includes a resin cast hull, a package of various metals and resin castings, A bag of stripwood, thread and the walls / roof for the cabin. Also included are Brett's fine instructions, reference photos and a number of templates. Hopefully I can do this justice ...
Finally, between work, family and aging parents responsibility it is a good thing that we have until 1 February to get this done as I do not have much time for modeling lately but good to be back at the bench. Jaime and I were talking about our recent lack of modeling time last weekend at the NNGC in Augusta, and if he can find some time to build that really cool bulldozer, I can try to berth a new fishing vessel ...
OK, time to read some directions and get started on this little beauty,
