Ok gang! That is it for the HM Mermaid
If i muck around with anything else i will damage things in the pursuit of 'tidying up'.. Im a little haphazard with rigging.. It was a bit of a battle at the end..
Ok so I have rattled off a bunch of pics and i will try some more on a sunny day, the overcast light does work well though, a couple of these are indoor under lights... Ollie

Stunning mate. CONGRATULATIONS! It is always a nice moment but you'll probably miss fiddling with it...

Ship's Boats continued:
Not a lot of time in the shipyard this weekend, but a little progress to report. I've been working on the gratings for the Pinnace. These are made from 1/32" x1/32" Boxwood stock that Jeff Hayes (Hobbymill) very kindly milled for me with notches, so that task was made a lot easier (thanks Jeff ). The gratings are quite a tricky shape, especially the stern grating. They are framed in in Pear wood of the same dimensions. I also made up a small bow deck, that will go in front of the foremost thwart. This was made from the same stock as the footwaling.
I've also been furthering my quest for improved photography....
Here's a few pics of the parts:
And here's the "fingernail shot" to show the size of the bow grating:
This shows the two gratings loosely in place, with the monster hand for overall scale:
And here's an overall shot with all parts in place:
I've also prepared the stock for the thwarts. These will be made from Pear wood trimmed with Boxwood (the opposite colour combo to the gratings), much the same as I did with the Launch. However, I decided that I'd better paint the exterior of the hull before moving on to fitting out the interior any further. At this stage, I've just applied a coat of white Gesso as an undercoat. I've gotta say, I've become a big fan of this stuff - it makes subsequent coats of paint go on a whole lot easier. More pics once painting is complete - hopefully by next weekend.

Hey There B, thanks for the compliment.. oh and welcome back by the way .
I have released the Dog 'House' pieces from their surround and am drawing up plans to alter it (which will allow me to open the doors and show the steps inside etc) the Doors are actually in one piece.. ie not designed to be opened, just to give the illusion of there being two .. soon see about that.. Hmmmm now where did I put that saw !
Stay Well
