Would your deck be snug fit and screwed in place. Let a bead of silicon cure on the frames used as a gasket when the deck is in place.
Members of my club use clear tape to cover hatches and covers from water getting in. Rick ▲

Looks to be a beautifully built hull, lovely lines, that grey primer is great for showing the slightest imperfection. Look forward to more pictures.

Unfortunately, Steam is very expensive, If I Steam the Mt Washington (if possible) it would be close to $900. Looking forward to your progress.

I am going to fit a drive motor, can't afford a steam plant.
It's interesting that the ship had a method of lifting the prop on board to reduce drag while under sail or in the ice. I still have to find out how this is possible. Not that I intend to do this on the model. I believe the rudder could be lifted on board as well. Sails were used because Discovery could not carry enough coal, and there was not any refuelling provisions. ▲

Looking good. I always plank on frames even my steam ships. 5ft model planked with 1/16 balsa Impregnated with resin. Built 2001 still going. Even dropped it twice so did have to repair. 1/16 is to thin use 1/8 now as I have a large supply. Bought 40 years ago when aero modelling. Boats donβt crash had 2 sink though π
