    Hi Pete
     
    Thanks, but if you're the 'domkop', then I must be even lower (LOL)....I got a hell of a long way to get up to your standard!
     
    All the best.

    Hi Mark 
    Thanks, but if I'm really bad, ALL of the voices in my head start arguing with me. Then, the fun really starts!!!

    Hi Greg
     
    Many thanks! The deck is wattyl veneer that I cut into as tiny planks as I could. It takes a bit of practice, but I can generally achieve strips that are slightly less than a millimetre in width.
     
    All the best!

    Thanks and yep, like you, I'd love to sail on the real boat, too! Nice to have these dreams, every now and then, isn't it?

    Hi folks!
     
    Well, I've done a bit more work on the decks, such as laying the individual wooden deck planks (where appropriate, that is). I've also begun to do the preliminary fit out of the Bridge Deck, which houses the Bridge, as well as a large seating/dining area, toilet and washroom for the guests, etc.
     
    I'm being a bit naughty, I must admit, because I'm jumping all over the place with the building sequence. I mean, I haven't really completed one single area of the build at all. In fact, I start a bit here, then I jump over there to do something else, etc. I really need to settle down and start sanding and cleaning the external areas up first, followed by painting, etc before I start on the internal fit out, but hey, I'm the boss, so I can do anything I want, right??? Heh heh.
     
    Oh well, here are the latest photos, so far.
     
    Cheers and all the best!

    Very ambitious and challenging, mostly in light of keeping it water tight with the windows and electrics.
     
    Have a great 2016!

    Hi Freek
     
    It looks like you've definitely got your work cut out for you, but judging by your previous subs, you're up for it!

    That's a bummer, Dave.  I'm sorry to hear it.  They are funny critters.  They'll sit on your shoulder for hours, or fly off and steal anything shiny.  I haven't had birds in a long time, but they are full of personality.

    Hi Yves, That is the framing for the Cockpit lockers ( originally they were going to open ) I liked the color contrast between the different woods. ( it made the outline stand out ) 
     
    Hi Moony, I am glad that I could be of some help
