Weather station to of the mast now made. I thought this would be impossible for me to make from scratch, but glad I did ...

Your entire Research Vessels collection is interesting - and thumbs up for expanding it by using different means: mainstream kits, 3D prints, paper models, and now scratch-building... Respects! 👍

Thanks Alex. The options are fairly limited with mainstream plastic kits. It's proving very slow progress with scratch building. But the hull is almost done, which is a major part of the build. I've learnt a lot so far anyway! Doing water line models would be much easier, but I like to see the hull form and propulsion.

Thanks. The hull is not ideal. It's made from Balsa wood which proved hard to get sharp and straight edges with. If I had the skills I would 3D design and print,but I don't. I would probably use bass wood next time as it would keep the edges better.

Nicely done! Interesting way of scratch build, which could also be used for aircraft.

Impressive.! And well documented to help us, lesser human modellers, marvel at your skills 🙂

I've got to finish this model soon. It's been nearly 4 years since I started according to this. Think I'll not scratch build a whole model for another twenty years me thinks.
