  COMMENTS: Some additional tools that might be helpful to the modeler;          

            Spring tension pliers                                                

            Brush                                                      

            Hand Drill                                            

            Plank bender                                            

                                                                                 

  COMMENTS: Detailed construction methods allow modeler to form the hull by      

              attaching planking strakes to the false keel and frames. Modeler   

              will want to file and sand the whole hull to obtain a compact and  

              smooth surface. Also, each mast and yard arm must be hand sanded   

              to the correct shape. All deck accessories must be built, painted  

              or stained for added realism. Taking the time to do the detail work

              will result in a truly realistic boat model and very rewarding     

              building experience for the modeler.
