Me and my pups feel your loss.
The emptiness of a dear and loyal friend.

Jesse - I can only echo what the others have already said. Our love for our pets is almost as great as their love for us. I know that I grieved long and hard when I lost a dog. Hard to say good-bye. I understand and sympathize.

Thanks for the likes and comments. They are deeply appreciated and encouraging.
I finished the planking the interior of the gundeck and have sanded it all pretty smooth. Still needs another pass with the sandpaper, IMO, along with some crack filling. I also need to make some "trim" bits (fiddly) for the cabin. To break the monotony of sanding, I have started work on the gun carriages. I just need to find a good time to start the guns themselves.
Here's the pics as she stands in the shipyard today. I'm running an inventory of eyebolts, rings, and some blocks to see if I have enough to fit out what's needed on this deck as well as the outside hull.

Chasseur reacted to colinmaclock in Albertic by michael mott - FINISHED - Scale 1:100 - RESTORATION - Bassett-Lowke Model
Hi Michael, Yes, this was the TEV Princess Marguerite. The restoration required taking nearly all the super structure off and start from there. It was an unfinished model to begin with so it made that part easier. It had no details like stanchions, railings, rigging and anchors etc. plus the davits and lifeboats needed overhauling. The fenestration needed framing and all areas of the hull and decks required repainting and refinishing. The model was 5' 6'' in length and built with yellow cedar strip on frame and considered a primitive, although a high end primitive. The chap who originally built it was an engineer on the original Princess Marguerite that was torpedoed off Malta in the 2nd WW and was a chief engineer on the Marguerite II.

Luxury, At bottom of lake all we got was 10 cents per hour!
Hi Colin I couldn't resist the Monty Python allusion. I hear what you are saying, I did not have any doubts that this was basically going to be a labour of love and not a commercial endeavour. the model in your picture looks like the Princess Marguerite? is this a new project or an older one?

Mott old boy, I appears you are coming along nicely with the restoration of the 'Albertic". You are a master of jigs and tool improvisation, the two important things you taught me 49 years ago! But I understand when the undertaking of professional model ship restoration sometimes reduces your profit margin to something like 15cents and hour, I've been there! Cheers.

Mark thank you for your comment and for the visit, I am waiting for the Silkspan which I understand will not fall apart when treated with the acrylic medium.
