Hi everyone,
I haven't had much to post as I'm still waiting for my third subscription. But it has given me the time to organize my work area.
I just picked this portable workstation up last week. I thought it would really assist me in keeping my area neat and tidy. As soon as the glue dry completely, I'll stock this station up with my tools and use the drawers to keep the smaller parts clean and lessen the chance of losing them.

Best,
Barry

Hi everyone,
I made some progress on my build. I've got the first 6 planks on and the gun ports cut out. I sanded the high spots on the planks and used wood filler to fill in any low spots. Since I'm painting her, I skimmed the wood filler on in a similar way you do body filler. This way I can ensure a smoother finish when I go to paint her(which is still a ways away!) I still need to finish sanding the gun ports to the correct size, which will be done over the weekend.
Cheers!
Barry
