yes i have missed it off deliberately, it is finished and pained and just needs to be attached, but there is a lot more to be done - to tidy it all up, so i leave bits off to remind myself that i need to spend more time in that area - silly i know - thats me all over

what i like is that even with the language barrier - members try their hardest to make a comment instead of being sat back having no involvement, credit to everyone

thank you everyone for the remarks, she looks much better in real day light, i miss having put a new into window in the garage, but as it is insulated, it does stay at a fairly comfortable temp inside,

good afternoon everyone Progress - i actualy managed some build today Rudder as discussed in my last post i have not coppered the leading edge of the rudder or the trailing edge of the sternpost, but i have removed the hinges as they were getting in the way i have inserted 3 pins to strengthen the structure when it is finally fixed, should prevent any potential knock off

i admire people like you that make an attempt to speak in the English language, full credit to you and everyone, i leant one to ten in French and then failed an exam as i was to stupid to realise that my name is the same in any language, and i tried to translate it as for the right word - lol perhaps you used the right word (Tardy) in the first place -lol all the best

Sorry real life gets in the way - full time work lots of DIY on the house - big garden - and the biggest surprise of all - that my daughter who i lost 15 years ago has made contact, i progress with the build when i get the chance - no one more than me wants to get on with it - not quite sure you mean by tardy though, lol it doesnt mean anything special in the English dictionary - if you do mean that - then im afraid i am unable to improve on my own work

Good morning everyone here is my latest build progress report,- Nothing the last few weeks has been quite difficult to do anything, so much is going on - but it is settling down now - I am considering becoming a Slimming world consultant but to achieve that i would have to reduce my full time work hours - but that would also give me more home time hours- therefore more build time, Time is my problem - lol i just dont have enough of it anyway - going to the coast today, for a picnic - we both need some time out - LOL the grass and DIY will have to wait all the best

i like the white shrouds - are you going to contrast the ratlines in black - or keep it all the same colour? all the best
