Started work on the Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack (Model Shipways 1:24) 2 weeks ago. This is my second model. My first was the Lowell Grand Banks dory 1:24. This is very different. Well here we go !
You can never have too many clamps. Getting everything lined up before the glue get too tacky was a job. I will have to do a little filling to get the bulkhead frame to fit right. The centerboard was a lot of work for me but it looks like it is working. It better. Once I glue the bulkhead frames there is no return.
Ok. Everything dry fitted. I think I will add a few blocks to keep things square during the gluing of the bulkhead frames. I think the cockpit floor needs a bit more support.
