    Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. Well Progress has been rather rapid this week and I Must say, I have taken a bit not note from Roberts Log, ((Thanks)) LOL Every thing also just slipped in to place, To the point I am at the point to I rip off the side I have completed and do it the same as I am doing. The cost of 1500 tiles are about £40. ($60). But Not sure.. time will tell..

    Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. After gluing the hull, filling sanding and repainting> I have tarted the copper plates, and I must say they have gone on with ease, probably because I know how to fit them, need more practice mind you.. From the center out 10 tiles each way.

    Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. I have PVA/Wood Glue, the hull, tonight i'm going to sand it, then fill it. I have finished for now, the upper gun fixings and the steps to the lower deck. I'm not going to add these until i have finished the hull copper plating.

    Hi guys, Not sure if it was water base paint.. the hull was primed with while paint first.. bloody frustrating. oh well. Is it worth coving the hull in pva, sand and fill. Then resand??

    Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. The Hull is coming along the last few night I have been touching up the paint work, as we have a few friends round for amean so ""wife"" said i need to keep the house clean n tidy. I'm no the last little bit of the hull. I should have this done this weekend, Depending if I get call out into work I have just been looking at the picture, not really noticed it in the UK day light ! , a few area on the bow needs to be buffed out, I this i think ill leave till all the hull is done and give it a good going over in one go.
