remaining hole on the double block pulley on the boom and then back up to the
remaining hole on the pulley on the mast. Thread this end of the rope down and over the
mast winch drum, wrapping it around several times. Tie it off or coil the remainder on the
deck, whichever you prefer. Fig 2

Finishing Details

From the brass sheet, remove a cargo hook and tie it to a length of rope. Thread the
Ÿ
rope up and through the single block pulley hanging from the bottom of the boom. Fig 2
Thread the rope down to the mast winch and wrap it around the remaining winch
Ÿ
drum and either tie it off or coil it up on the deck.
You may want to depict the netting hanging from the cargo hook and draped on the
Ÿ
deck as shown. Place the dark red beads throughout the netting to represent floats and
glue in place.
Remove the ladder from the brass sheet and place it against the mast wherever you
Ÿ
would like to and glue in place.
Remove the running light shields from the brass sheet and bend at a 90 degree
Ÿ
angle. Glue these against the rail on top of the wheelhouse. Place a bead to represent a
running light in each inside corner of the shield. The red bead goes on the left (port) side
when on the deck facing the bow and the green one goes on the right (starboard) side.
Remove the radio direction finder antenna from the brass sheet and glue into the
Ÿ
hole on the top of the wheelhouse.
Remove the fish from the brass sheet. You may want to fatten them up using a drop
Ÿ
of acrylic medium and paint them. These can be placed in the fish wells or in the netting
according to your preference.
Fish Well Doors: Thread a small length of rope up through one hole in the door and
Ÿ
down through the other hole to create a rope handle. Repeat for remaining doors. Glue
on the underside and trim off the excess rope.
Fish well doors may be glued in an open position or a closed position as desired.
Ÿ
Glue the clear bead on top of the mast as a running light.
Ÿ
Weather and seal your new kit according to your preference.
