Rudder done and start of Samson post production line,only 34 to do.

Popeye nice job on planking the plastic boats they came out real good.Great details on your half moon you are the wizard for this.

Thanks a lot Frank and Popeye.Get around to the rudder one of these days.

Thanks very much for your comments Alistair,Denis and Augie.Not getting much time on it these days but there's no hurry.

Transom done rudder next.

Thanks very much for all of your nice comments men, especially from experts like yourselves.Denis the red is red ochre from admiralty paints.Just onto the transom now.Pat you are to far ahead to catch.

Hull done.

Thanks Rowan,put some more pix up soon.

Thanks a lot Frank,Popeye and Joe.

Thanks Slog nice to get to this stage.

Thanks Denis and Alistair.I might try the rubbing idea.

Thanks a lot Denis and Augie and for the likes.The dullcote is on the wales and lower hull,what does rubbing do Denis?Admiralty paints french blue.

All planked it was'nt to bad,but not done properly like the real thing.Stain on upper planking and yellow ochre for the rubbing strakes.

Beautifull job,very,very nice.

Very nice work Augie,she's looking great.

Jig for the rubbing strakes,other photos tomorrow.

Thanks a lot men.I'll be using the admiralty french blue, looks ok.Thanks Alistair for the suggestions i might go with a slightly worn look for paint hull etc see how it looks later on.

A few coats of dullcote so far, maybe do one more and one coat of stain on the keel.Start above the wale now, good to get something done.

Great thanks Alistair.

Thanks Augie and Alistair.Found some testors dullcote that'll be good.The matt varnish i have used before was rubbish.Would you recommend sanding sealer as well.thanks ron. 

It is a linseed oil blend furniture polish.

Getting serious now with machines next you'll be doing a scratch built.

Hi Denis, thanks a lot.Not sure if i'll varnish the hull or use oil like on my Supply.Varnish would be better for any future glueing if needed i think.Ron.

Bottom of hull done,light sand then onto the top third.

Thanks Popeye and Denis,good to get something else done.
