Good evening everyone been away from the build for a couple of weeks, lol i am getting old and work has worn me out, and being tired had resulted in a few mistakes being made on the build so having taken the forecastle back to MDF, all the hawse were filled in and reset to their proper positions, the deck was relines and new breakwater made one side of the centre line is a little out in the fibre glass process, (ie both sides are not identical )so oi had to be a little creative with some of the non slip tresds to make it look the same i may do a little more of the pattern towards the front the bollards on the centre line are the incorrect size, i need to order/make some this is as much as i can do at the pointy end for now, i have to order some bits and obtain paint, most of this will be green and white made a paper template for the next section between the superstructure and the breakwater, as most of this is decked out, this allowed me to make some plank edging by getting the shape from the template onto lime sheets

it was nice to get an update done last night, i have found myself doing less and less posting recently, and thats not the way i want it to be anyway, the new evergreen strips would have arrived today but they require a signature and no one home so will be picked up on saturday the two smaller hawse holes have been filled in as they were not 100% in the correct position, and the repair did not look great so everything is now back to the mdf and I will restart the front end this weekend and it is a bank holiday yipeeeee

Good evening everyone i had been doing quite well on the build, the forward superstructure was marked out, the decking area around the 4.5 looked tidy and the forcastle over the last few weeks has been worked on to put on all the anti slip pattern but only this weekend i realised that i would have to redo the whole of the front end due to not allowing for the anchor chain area, which does not have the anti slip pattern, it was impossible to remove with out looking naff, so has now been scrapped off into the bin this is some of the area that should have been kept clear last Saturday before priming Breakwater in place, into the sunshine and back to square one again

i have a feeling they are window wipers, or so i thought, but dont know why the middle ones were left out
-
i will have to make them go away, my launcher looks like it is sitting a bit low and the windows slightly high, so i will give then a bit of a revamp this weekend

your build continues to impress me, sorry about the job though

bit of a surprise this weekend, my DIY was completed in two of my four days off, im not going to bore you with that, so that meant some boat building Exocet Missile System the bits that i bought were not the fit for use, or the wrong shape do they were modified instead of being stepped the modules were in pairs, so two banks were joined together and then added to a deck plate, i scratched two blast deflectors with 0.5mm plasticard and added them with the aid of some hidden supports to keep them in place at the end of the missile pods some extra detailing and a whip aerial
