With the bank holiday giving me a three day weekend, I completed the starboard wales and gave them two thin coats of dull black

I still have the port side to fit.

I have thinned the planks down towards the stem. The blackstrake will cover the brush slips luckily😏

and a touch of filler at the stern.

What is the best filler for colour matching AYC? Any suggestions will be welcome .

Thanks for looking in and the likes.

Thank you Chuck, for the kind and encouraging comment. 

Cheers

The grass area looks great, unkempt, slightly muddy, and generally trodden down!! The hedge is just about right, a hint of Beechers Brook jump at Aintree after 30 odd horses have jumped it. Fab scenic work!😉

As EG said, in your own time brother!

We'll all be here waiting 😉

Thanks for all your comments, in the long run of things, it worked out for the better, as the wood I'm now using to plank is so much better than the stuff I removed after the accident. 

I've had to also strengthen the bulkhead parts, it all looks a bit messy but as none of it will be seen when finished, I'm not overly bothered by it.

Several hours work and I'm nearly back to where I was before the boat threw itself to the floor 😇.

Thanks for looking in and the likes.

Cheers 

PS hopefully I will be able to pop in and see the actual boat when I'm in Norfolk in June. I'll definitely get some photos. 

I'm being able to find time to get back working on Winnie,  so a  small update is due, sanding the hull continues, I keep finding areas that need a better finish. 

I have started to fit the wales, hopefully she will look better and more shipshape when these are finished and painted.

With hindsight I wish I'd ordered some of Vahur's lovely black hornbeam for the wales. 

Thanks for your continued support everyone. 

Also for the likes.

Cheers 

Ooh Pacific campaign flyer!!

As I have just received my order from Vahur,  I'd like to say a big thank you for an old fashioned customer comes first service!!!

He has bent over backwards to get this order to me, the quality of the wood is excellent 👌 and  he takes the time to keep you updated to the status of your order.

As a supplier of most species of wood used in this hobby, he is  definitely worth a 5 🌟 rating.

In short excellent quality, excellent service and competitive prices. 

Thankyou!!

That's definitely good news regarding your new venture, I'm glad it's working out well for you, even if it doesn't leave you any time for the shipyard. 

We'll still be here when working allows you a respite.

The stern post transition is absolutely superb, I totally struggled with that part.

As has been mentioned several times, very clean, precise planking! Always a pleasure to read your updates Glenn

You very nearly saved the French a messy assault! Well saved!

Looking forward to see what you do with Endeavour. 

You've made a good start. 

and welcome to MSW. 

I've had parts and wood from both the USA and mainland Europe,  and the shipping cost was roughly the same when converted to GBP from $ or € approx £24, the only difference was the duty/VAT to be paid on the US  package.

As I could not get what I wanted here in the UK, I was happy to pay the shipping. 

Just my tuppence worth (shipped free🙄)

It looks real good OC, I'm now trying to picture the pasture at the side filled with troops!😊

welcome to MSW Arthur

It's a stealth hammock 😄😁

Surely there's room for another, 24" alloted space to sling a hammock 😁😉

Good to see you back on this OC. 

Well they do say 'A change is as good as a rest'. 

With the experience you've had with this ship, I'm sure you'll do do a great job with Endeavour. I'll be sure to follow. 

Nuestra looks amazing by the way!!

and welcome to MSW Alex.

Hammock slung, I'm in🙂

Oh god! I missed the stage! 😊 Been catching up, beautiful work Kevin. 

I agree with popeye,  would better without the bin underneath 😉 😁

and welcome to MSW Michele!

I personally love the P38, but as Lou said, could be done with a different finish, the Sabre on the other hand, I've only seen BMF ones. In short the 86 would be the kit I'd choose.
