    A little more progress.  The forward cant frames are now all fitted and I've started fitting hawse pieces - hopefully they'll all be on next Monday.
     
    The problem at the moment is School Holidays!  There are lots of visitors in the museum and I'm doing far more talking than model making.  Of course if anyone shows any real interest I tell them about this amazing international forum of model makers that I know of!

    "We moved here in 2006 and have now been present for three of the top five snowfalls on record (going back to at least the late 1800s)." - The inference is obvious, mate! 😉

    The same, I think, Greg.  As you walked off to look at the museum I thought, "Oh, Greg from Admiralty Models."  
     
    I can only say in my defence that I had been a little distracted that day.

    Just catching up, Mate!  You've got a half completed ship already.  You've really been steaming ahead with this one.
