Ohh, ooooh, oh those Walthers kits. I've said it before - you're thankful they exist because you don't have to scratchbuild these things. But so often they don't want to go together very easily. And you want to have words with the engineer who designed it. ("Did you guys ever actually have to put this kit together?") A vital tool for building one is a roll of blue painter's tape. To hold things together that are supposed to go together while the glue dries. The tugboat kit is going about as well as you'd expect right now based on the amount of tape you see in the photo.
I set up some plaster cloth for the embankment on one side of the shipping channel, and started setting up the cardboard supports on the other. As much as everyone wants to get outside, and the calendar says it's spring, it's not spring here yet. We woke up to an inch of snow yesterday morning. The kind of weather that helps facilitate layout progress. I want to get some Sculptamold plaster to even out the surface of these embankments, then I'm going to need to seal the river bed (plaster? or maybe the paint will do it) and paint it.
