5 BEFORE YOU BEGIN The model is a waterline type ( no hull below the waterline ). At 1/8" scale, it makes a fine shelf model mounted on a "sea" baseboard. It can also be used ef- fectively in an HO gauge model railroad setting. Although HO is 1/87 scale, 1/8" ( or 1/96) is close enough for the HO layout.
Note about Glues: White or Carpenter's yellow wood glue will suffice for most of the model. Five-minute epoxy pro- vides extra strength for gluing fittings. Cyanoacrylate (Super) glue such as Jet, can be used for quick adhesion. The best cyanoacrylate glue for most applications is a medium viscosity gap-filling type.
It may seem strange to begin an instruc- tion manual with directions on applying the finishes to the model. Not so! Much time and effort can be saved, and a more professional result can be obtained, if the finishing process is carried out dur - ing construction.
8 SHAPING THE PRE-CAR VED HULL 1. Shaping the Outside of the Hull The outside of the pre-carved hull can be shaped very easily with a sanding block. About all you need do is even up both sides with a sanding block. The stern has vertical sides down to a sharp edge, then tapers back to the waterline.
9 COMPLETING THE BASIC HULL 1. Installing the Stem Precut the stem and glue it to the bow. The stem should have a very slight taper to it. Make sure the grain of the wood is in line with the piece. 2. Installing the Rubbing Strakes Using a 1/16" strip, pre-shape the rub- bing strakes.
