Could be worse, you could do it dressed as a Klingon.

Ok I have started my planking extension to take the planking above the deck and thus create a better water seal. As requested I have taken a few pics of how I did it. I have done one side and am leaving it for around an hour until I do the other side. Here is what I used:Drawing Pins, Hammer, 1m lengths of 1.5x5mm lime wood strips and sellotape. I used a hammer otherwise my fingers would be hurting like crazy trying to push the pins into the top of the frames. So the pics: The 1m strip of wood used:
The 45 degree angle for joining to stern piece rapping round part 70: Pinning the piece in position: Top View:

Silly me I forgot to post the pics of all the motor parts that Markus sent to me last week. The kit is stunning imo. Markus wired up the battery cells for me so I won't electrocute myself lol and the motors have the brackets attached, very happy ;D ;D

Hi AFK. I found the sanding quite rewarding and relaxing but then again people think Im strange. Looking forward to my first coats of primer it should start looking really good then.
