Good evening everyone look long and hard at the build today, and decided to be a bit braver with her the yellow ochre is going, NO yellow Ochre on this build (subject to change), it is being replaced with Olive green, why i ask you say, and my thinking is ( i dont have an answer yet) anyway i am committed to the build and ordered some extra bits for her today, including olive green the banding is sitting better now, i altered a few bits today the ports i am experimenting with to see if it works

Good evening everyone Hull well with the Dorade finished, its back to the Amerigo, the Enterprise will continue at some time in the future when my confidence returns so back to the banding, im having trouble sourcing some air ports/portholes they appear in the instructions as part number 202 and are 6.8 x 3.3, i need about 30 of them, but have plenty to so until i come up with a solution, buying kit number 3 is not really an option for some reason the banding is longer one side than the other so i have a gap to fill other then that, this for me is 1000% better than my previous attempt 11 years ago

Good afternoon everyone the stand has now been made up properly and mounted on a stained pine shelf last night i finished a few last bits off, rope coils, safely rail and and the silly mounted navigation lights the last thing i did was put the name on, which is Dora, as she bears very little resemblance to the real item thank you to all those who have followed me i will put some reveal phots in the gallery later Thank you MSW for a lovely retirement gift

Good evening everyone 99.9% complete now hope to do a final reveal at the end of the week, after sorting the stand and final bits of rigging, oooooh and a sunny day to get a few outside shots, might even get the wheelie bin in

Good morning everyone not much of an update, but all four sails are now attached, hope to have then fully rigged within the next day and still on track to complete her this week will be nice to get on with another project (Amerigo Vespucci) but will miss this as it was something very different for me

good evening @Jim Lad lol she is not going to let me forget that she helped me tonight i managed to get the bottom of the after sail fixed to the trolley and put on a bolt rope, and for tonight just temp put it in place, im quite pleased the way it is turning out i think the sails could do with cleaning up a bit, like removing the pencil marks
