9” Scuttle sheet from GLS. Provided laminate sheet for the glass as well. Will add these after the other heavy mods - removing keel, adding beam supports, installing propeller and rudder.
Comparison with the two-piece kit float. The GLS floats are much better. Next, paint and texture the float, tie the ropes, and fasten the floor to the ropes.
This is a Carley Float stand that was used on Snowberry and later ships. Since I am doing Bluebell, I won't need it, but put it together to practice soldering. I am really having fun with this.
Breakwater just place on the deck at this point. Eventually it will be soldered onto the deck. Lots of things to do first.

Build of the original Matchbox version of this kit, using all of the J.D Parkins GLS photoetch. Had started the build several years ago, with hull, propeller, and bracing. Several moves, damage, including snapped off propeller and rudder. Restarting the project. Acquired "The Flower Class Corvette Aggasiz recently. Following D.J. Parkins comments about removing the keel, sanding off the eyebrows over the portals and replacing them with PE. Replacing the broken propeller and rudder with GLS Resin and metal parts. Fun to be working on this again.
