  2. very Nice indeed, she looks very clean and tidy i must admit i miss doing a 1st rate, but doubt i will do another one, perhaps a 3rd rate will appear on my workbench one day in the future, until then i have plenty to do
  3. Good evening everyone now that i have a system that works in getting a decent fit of the superstructure to the hull, i can continue and build the boat deck up, a lot less chance of damaging anything now the davits were made up a while ago, i just a white primer, as i wanted the flat white finish, today, they had a Flory grime wash over them and fitted to the deck, bollards, and handles, with the ropes and ropes are still to be sorted, but im happy with what has been done today,

  7. first day of retirement, and i have brought the hull back into the mancave although not the way the instructions show, i have devised a system which allows the superstructure to be removed, using screws that are pretty well hidden. then is for any reason, the hull goes to someone else they can sort it out, my reasoning for it is that i wanted a tight seal not just a unit that lifted off, leaving gaps in places i can now start work on the foredeck thinking ahead i want rusty looking hull, im not quite sure how i am going to go about it, its not exactly a small unit
