good evening everyone lol it took me quite a while to sort out everything and get to where i left off main mast, i am finding it difficult to get any distance between the parts of the mast that overlap, the metal fittings are drilled out as much as i dare, whilst i ponder that i got on with the upper platform spreaders

good evening everyone well i have had a few weeks away from the mancave, DIY, Gardening and looking forward to being in the mancave again, But i am going back to the Amerigo, i really want to finish this, and the condition with the admiral is, nothing new until she is complete, the addition of the sails is not in the contract, that gives me a while maybe another 4 moths to finish the rigging at least and time to think about whats next i like to think ahead a large paddle steamer - Like the Talisman i have a 1/48 hull and plans or a ferry kit from linkspan Linkspan Models i also love the new @chris watton Spinix

good evening everyone having completed most of the veneer it was time to put the double bottom on, which took place without any issues, most of the carriage has also been pretty well sanded to a nice finish, lol by my standards so a diluted gloss varnish has been added to the ends and under, as well as the end walls internally, this is then going to give me a base to put all the coach work on top ( the fiddly bits) (NOT MY PHOTO) i have also started the doors, also made up the same as the body, so some sanding will be required to match it

There isnt a template its just a gentle reminder that you need to make anothed 4 in total openings, its a pain to do later on in the build
-
The template does not include all the gunport openings, i think i added another two more either side in the bow
-
strange photo, the boom/ mast seams to be floating above the deck
-
good evening my friend, dont forget the forward gun ports, the template does not go that far, i forgot mine until late in the build
-
good evening everyone well i did get a bit done on the coach, the area under the driver position is apparently called the winch box, still to go in the a flap, behind which sits a 9vt battery to power the lights

good evening everyone most of the outside cladding is done now and i have been doing a lot of sanding on her today what do you call the box the crew sit on, well what ever it id called, work has progressed on that as well the side panels are leather (well simulated) and this confused me for a while, the material is used to cover both sides of the wooden pieces and pulled across the open area, so why not make it one piece quite a lot still has to be done before i can put this into place, and yes i keep looking at the enterprise, worrying myself on where to restart on her
