Jim Lad got a reaction from Kevin in Meteor 1851 by Jim Lad - Scale 1:96 - Immigrant Ship
A little bit more to show. It might not look like much, but I've been busily fairing and sanding the inside of the lower hull preparatory to fitting the keelson and some stringers to stiffen the structure. I now feel like I'm starting to get somewhere - but probably won't achieve much on Monday; being Easter Monday the museum will probably be crowded with visitors.

Congratulations on the completion of your beautiful model, Frank. I, too, am looking forward to the addition of the dredges.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Piet in Meteor 1851 by Jim Lad - Scale 1:96 - Immigrant Ship
Thanks, Pat, but the whole reason for us being there is to interact with visitors. When they re-worked our modelling space a few years ago the museum offered us a glass partition, but we refused as there would be no real point in being there if we couldn't talk to people.

Another small update - the last transom is in and a filling piece has been fitted under the transoms. This will be the last update for a while as I won't be in the museum for the next two weeks.
