Hi everyone and thanks for all the Likes and comments. As you can see from the photos below, I've started on the deck's framework. As I intend to fully detail the interior of Rainbow's hull, it's important that as much of it can be viewed and enjoyed. For this reason, the deck will be left open and unplanked. Progress is steady, yet slow. No need to rush things; besides, I'm finding it too enjoyable to rush. I hope you enjoy the photos so far. All the best Patrick

Hi Kevin Your Skipjack's coming along beautifully. Great detail! All the best Patrick

Hi Farbror I like the concept of what you're trying to achieve. The ROV, the wreck, the eerie murkiness of the water, even the darkness, all should come together for a most unusual and characterful diorama. Look forward to seeing your progress. All the best Patrick

Hi Mike I like your nice and methodical approach; which I'm sure will pay dividends in the long run. Can't wait to see the planking next. Well done and all the best! Cheers Patrick

Hi all Rainbow, all of a sudden has turned red! No stress, though. The reason is that I decided to paint the whole hull with a Matt Red colour. This will then be the colour of the hull under the water line. Once I'm satisfied that the paint looks good, I'll the paint the top sides gloss black. Hope this all makes sense. I've also planked the floors onto which the internal bulkheads and accommodation will reside. Some of the bulkheads can be seen temporarily propped up in the photos. Well, overall, progress may be slow, but, it's still heaps of fun, nonetheless. Hope you enjoy the photos. Cheers Patrick

Hi Mike She's really taking shape now, isn't she? Gotta admit, Colin Archer certainly had an eye for beauty when he designed this hull. I look forward to seeing more as progress marches onwards. Cheers Patrick

Hi Ben The shot of the ship in the tub gives a good idea of the actual size. She's bigger than I thought. Looks great, nonetheless. All the best Patrick

Hi Vaddock Nice job on the bevelling! Your planking will definitely run nice and sweetly, without any problems. Cheers Patrick

Hi Michael Yes..."close ups can be brutally honest....", but in your case, it just looks brilliant to me. I can't even bang a nail in straight, let alone do one tenth of what you've achieved. I marvel and admire. All the best. Patrick

Hi Dennis and David Thanks both for your comments! Denis - you're right about the importance of getting some of the bulkheads back into the hull, just in case the hull warped. Luckily, the hull was fine, but no harm in being sure, I guess. As far as the building method's concerned, I used cardboard for the temp frames because I knew that they were easily disposed of, when they were no longer needed. David - I would love to do what you did with your friend. It must've been quite an experience, that's for sure; especially, as you said, they really are utterly beautiful creations. All the best! Patrick

Hi Dennis Marvellous work! It's amazing just how much detail you're able to pour into this ship. That'll no doubt, add to the overall character of the ship once it's finished. All the best Patrick
