Scamp Sail Structure




Working on the sail structure, which I should have done before assembly. I had not made the decision to display the ship in dry dock until after assembling. The top two photos are of the bridge, clam shell doors are installed deck grating, fore and aft bulkheads. Third photo is the fair water access door area, deck and aft bulkhead is installed. Bottom photo shows the doors cut and filed to shape, these will need all of the backing structure added before installation. At this point I am using a "building a ship in a bottle" approach to adding this detail. One thing I will not be able to add is the bridge access trunk. There is not a large enough opening in the sail to put the pieces in.
