Wez, the ladder looks really good.
If I might offer a suggestion, I looked at the solder joints
and it appears that the joints need to be a bit hotter than
you are getting them.
The solder should be very smooth connecting to each brass
part.
Try some scrap brass pieces and see the difference in a
"cold joint" and one that is hot enough.
Congratulations on taking on a new challenge and enjoy the experience!

Rogal,
Thanks for clarifying the prop question.
I will keep your experience with the setup in my organic computer for future reference.
I wish you fair winds and following seas.

Rogal, excellent rebuild on the Karoline. I always enjoy seeing boats brought back to life.
I have a question, since I am not familiar with the original or model. I notice that the picture on the box does not show a propeller.
Did the original builder just add those to the boat or did the original sometime in its life have an auxiliary engine? 👍

Have a wonderful new year.
In my opinion the boat is a work of art. It cannot be improved.

I see from your picture you are using lacquer for a finish. I used lacquer for many years building furniture as one of my hobbies.
The cloudiness you are getting is from a high humidity atmosphere. When you use a spray on type of application the expanding gas from the nozzle is quite cold. The cold spray then condenses moisture from the air and puts it on the surface you are covering.
When using a spray gun there is a product called lacquer retarder that is added to the lacquer to slow the evaporating to prevent the moisture problem.
It should never be used for any marine purpose.

That looks like a nice project. I believe you will actually enjoy the kit bashing required.
That is something it seems I have to do on any building project. I believe we all enjoy
doing a little of our own thing when building.

That is a golden opportunity for someone!
I have all the equipment and shed room to finish that project.
However, at my age I can only dream of my past days of pulling on the
sheets and hiking overboard. How I miss it!

Pete,
I don't know the exact design scoops you are looking for but I have cut up plastic spoons
to make scoops for projects.
Perhaps that would work for you.

Congratulations on getting the rigging nicely done.
I love rigging but at about the half way point all my fingers
turn into ten thumbs! My hands also grow into the
size of a bears paw. LOL!

Ron, I think you have enough whirligigs to slow down the
wind in your area!
There are housing projects growing around here everywhere. The growing population the world over is demanding housing.
I live out in the country with a horse farm behind me and a cattle farm across the road. I am afraid housing industry will be soon knocking on my door.
