Hi all,

Sorry to bother everyone again but I have a question regarding the shape of the stern. I know I have more sanding to do, but I would like to know how much I should round the upper rear portion of the stern. I have looked at the pictures in the build diary, Step #25 in Yamato Build, and while I may infer what it looks like I cannot see the top of the rear portion of the stern. I have enclosed a photo of where I am so you can accurately comment. Hopefully I have not't gone too far. I have just started sanding so I realise the hull needs a lot more sanding but it is relaxing and I have the patience.

Thanks for all your previous and future advice. BigGrin

BigGrin Hi DJ
you will need to take the top 2 sections down more untill they blend as one at the sides this is made a little harder due to the two bamboo rods used in the construction, also i sanded mine all the way back and didnt use amy filler here,hard work but worth it in the end.I have included a few pics of my stern to try and help you out,and ask all the questions you want m8 thats what the forums for.
regards
AndyCool
