Aylsham - a Broads Cruiser

This is my new project - I will return to Artur (probably) later in the year. I wanted something reasonably straight forward for a change.
These kits are very well presented, very reasonable, and with good instructions. For once I think I have all I require to complete the build, except maybe paint, so there should be no hold ups.

I do not intend to write up this build and will only be posting photos, unless I run into problems that need an explanation.



And this is the first stage

Desks have been sealed with EzeKote to protect them

Two problems so far. There is a lot of ash on the cuts. Not only does this have to be sanded off, it makes the pieces dirty  Secondly, I wanted to stain the cabin sides mahogany, but there are two different types of ply used each wit a different grain so stain wont look too good.

 
 

Waiting for a coupling and rudder

 

The side skins have been trimmed ready to fit, but I want to finish the rudder/servo installation and make a battery box while I still have side access. I also need to make a stand - usual problem - I don't have any material
No more until October - off to try and get another dose of Covid

 

Ready for primer if the weather holds.

 

Not sure about the colour scheme

Construction finished. Stand to finish and rudder linkage to install together with ESC & battery.

This thread will be tidied up and locked.
