Portgarth model tug build
The Build - Hull 2
| << previous | The Build | next >> |
Continuation of the Portgarth hull preparation
|
| MMM's ThrustMaster Power Kort pack opened up and checked. |
|
|
|
| The Kort nozzles are much better quality than those supplied in the past, they are cast in a light grey resin and are perfect - though the rudder post fitting is in the old style and missized for the 70mm kort. I bought some white 70mm OD pipe caps to help with the prop shaft/rudder post alignment, they fit exactly inside the kort nozzle. |
|
|
|
| Before fitting any running gear I decided to start on the bulwark liner and support which involves alot of hull manouevering on the work bench and is better without anything attached to the hull which could get knocked or moved. |
|
|
|
| The best way to treat the inside of the bulwarks is to line it with 1mm styrene sheet but to fit that a liner support is needed on the hull below the bulwark. This will also provide the foundations for the deck support beams and stringers later on. |
|
|
|
| Progressing the fitting of the liner support using 4mm pine stripwood. |
|
|
|
| Boat stand completed and treated with Rustins sanding sealer. |
|
|
|
| Liner support completed. |
|
|
|
| Started fitting the Bulwark liner using 1mm Styrene sheet. |
