I'd call it good, as well - very neatly done.

Well it's a good thing I recently had my hair cut short or I would have pulled it all out. Just finished making railings and ladders. Have a little clean up and some paint and I am calling it good.

Good evening everyone.
Work continues with the final fixing of electrical motors in the ship's hold.
When catching the bases we used two component resin based adhesive http://www.bison.net/en/products/647-2-components-adhesives/product/2268-epoxy-universal/
All the best and I wish you a nice evening.

Looking very good. Those two motors will give a lot of power - I can see the boat will be high performance.

Thank you all, considering it is my second model I am happy with the result. I realised though that I forgot the reefing lines so one more loose end to tie.
Patrick, houses in Britain are really small so no chance for a glass case!
Bob, I used Aleene's glue which I think is just ordinary PVA glue which shrinks and dries virtually invisible. The cloth is synthetic but still it glued fine.

Nice stairs. I wonder what will be upstairs. Maybe a bar? In my younger years I went to a bar called Stairs on saturdays. Lots of hard urned money spend there.

thanks Patrick and Jack. I had a few ideas about them........if I had enough brass rod, I could have simply made the frames, and made up some 'canvas' sides to cover them. the treads were what made me go with this. here, I could make the tread frames, and add the treads later. since this will be cemented to the upper deck, making it removable as well, the top will lock into the bulwarks {I could have negated planking them}. I could also leave it as a separate piece.......putting it in place after the upper deck is back in place. the bottom flat is done this way, merely to make it sit better, when in place.
now to figure out how to best assemble it

Hi everyone
Many thanks for all of your Likes and comments!
Well, so far, I've managed to give the jet skis and the engine their first coat of paint. I'm a bit disappointed about the quality of the first coat of paint because I'm using an old brush, which isn't the best for fine painting. I'll need to buy a new one before I paint anything else.
I've also started on the starboard engine, which remains unpainted. There's still lots of work to go, of course.
Here're the photos below.
All the best!

started working on the stairway to the upper deck. it begins as two pieces of 1/32 flat stock....the upper threshold is drawn out.
and with the rest of the sides drawn out.....
this is when I realized that making two starboard sides wasn't going to end well..........so I changed one of them to be the port side. the tread lines are drawn in
for the frame work I'm using 1/16 strip stock to outline the drawings. this is the last of the crappy, that I got in one of my kits........you wouldn't believe how bad the wood was. rough cut, not exact to size.......I'll be picky what I use, but following the lines, I can make allowances here and there.
going further, the tread frames were added
.......and then the excess was cut off. I was going to use the scroll saw, but I ended doing it by hand with a razor {my trusty case cutter}
once sanded and cleaned up a bit, a dry fit was done to see how they fit the upper deck and the main deck.

Hi Dave
I'm just sitting here shaking my head in disbelief! I can't even imagine being able to replicate what you've done.
You, Sir, are doing one hell of a fabulous job on those carvings.
Cheers and all the best for the weekend.
