Chesapeake Bay Flattie – Midwest {part 8}

After trimming the deck sheer trim,   the 3 mm painted trim was run along the sides,  even with the top of the deck trim.   The sanding and curvature of the deck sheer caused the trim to have a few small gaps.   They will be filled in and touched up later on.

The other side was done at this time……..

The transom was done last,  casing in the corner edges.

The forward hatches were cemented in place next.   The lower part of the hatch assembly was painted the cobalt blue,  and the tops were painted flat white.   They were done this way,  just in case the lower part {simulated hold walls} could be seen.

A border was cemented along the undersides of the cabin roof.   Wanting the cabin door to the cockpit to stand out,  trim was added on both sides of the roof sill.   It had an adverse affect though,  because it caused the front roof edge to run flush with the fore cabin wall.           It’s not too big a deal…….I thought up a remedy for it rather quickly.  I’ll show you what I will do soon.

This will be a much nicer picture,  once the cockpit cap rails and the cabin door is added to the model.  I like how the scheme is working out.

AHOY!!!
