In-between some necessary private restructuring, moving place, plenty of work in the office, workshop full of moving boxes, to nice weather to stay inside and other reasons I was neglecting my dear little small one. Unfortunately ...
 
But then came the day, and a job, an important job was to be done and I was able to hold my small one in my arms again ...
 

 
... and some serious cleaning was the job of the day. Time to be surprised: "Oh how did I achieve all this? Have to read the building report in MSW to believe."
 

 
She needed to be look beautiful, really beautiful. The big mess was still the slots, intended for the insertion of the upper decks. So I had to protect her. 
 

 
But all ok, the plastic protected the lower deck from the biggest dirt from the carnage of the upper decks. Then fixed the spriketting.
 

 
Then engraved the planking in situ - should have done before - and bent the water ways.
 
 

 
Added sone deck beams and evened up the knees ...
 
 

 
... and splashed some color and it looked much more clean and crisp in the inside.
 

 
The only problem with my way of building are the breaking parts on the way, even half the complement of the heads didn´t give a **** and did **** off ...
 

 
Then came the moment I was able to do a dry fit of the upper deck 🙂

At least the deck was not fixed yet as I have to fix some details still.
But in order to be looking smart, neat and tidy, the stern needed some attention. Great o the outside but the inside ...
 

 
... still quite worn, so I ground down the old paint and rediscovered the two square holes on the top that I added eons ago to fix the stern quarter davits, but scraped them later as newer research omitted them.
 

 
Looking more cute. See the two metal bits on the top?
 

 
Then had to fit the stern part. Great to have good tools.
 

 
Never thought to use a plain on my plastic tub 🙂
 

 
To be able to still look inside later on, I hid two magnets in the side galleries, fitting the two metal bits 🙂
 

 
Then came the cover of the tiller head ...
 

 
... build the box ...
 

 
... removable of course 🙂
 

 
And to give a good fit, a frame on the deck was to be build. Quite tricky in that size, so did an external work on some paper, that was removed by being made wet later on.
 

 
Searched for the wheel and the binnacle, made in February 2012, made a small base ...
 

 
... and also smartened the anchor cable for protection ...
 

 

 
... and the deciples came to praise her!
 

 
And then simply he simply took the model with him ...
... I needed to be strong then ...

Be strong, I had to be too.

You are going to laugh, you are not the first one to ask this and actually there are already some left-overs spread in several builds around the world :-)
