The instruction book for the Flying Dutchman model has steps labeled A through X. Here is a picture of my completed Step A.
I had to cut out and stain the keel and all 15 bulkheads, then glue them in place making sure they’re square to the keel. (They mostly are.)
So that’s it. My plan is to keep posing pictures of each step as it’s completed so stay tuned! Currently working on step B, planking the lower deck.
Take care,
JIm
