good afternoon Ken she looks great, the hull came out very nice i have just restarted mine after it being on the shelf of doom for 12 years, it has been in the rubbish bin more times than i can remember, but the initial cost stopped me from trashing it completly i have reordered a couple of the part kits, plus ply for the decks and 3mm lime strips for the decking planks , i also hated the kit produced wood, once the hull is back together, i will start to scratch a lot of the bits as they are pretty naff, as for the future i am looking forward to the rigging and hope to have a majority of sails set -
thank you grant, my first issue is knowing how far to go back, the next one is that the 4 centre frames are cut to deck level on completion of hull planking,, but this a problem i generated, so lol i better sort it out, i have never had a build that has been put in the rubbish bin so many times,

good evening everyone work on the yacht continues, the rudder post fitted, the rudder its self will be secured into position later, it will be fixed in a permanent way the structure has now been secured inside the hull, i now need to secure the deck to the sides, as i did not want to much 2 part epoxy dripping everywhere 26 holes have been put in, mainly for the scuppers and 4 hawse holes using the PE templete the scuppers were a real pain, and still need a lot of work to just get two looking the same

Good morning everyone well thats game of thrones watched, we thouroughly enjoyed it all 8 seasons, so now hope to spend a couple extra hours a day on the build until the next boxset, possibly "Killing Eve"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_Eve made some progress on the cabin top, i am finding it much harder than anticipated to keep everything clean and new looking, and trying to keep it OOB without extra, although i would like to get some white rigging line, and the box art shows brass rings on the sails, im not sure if thats correct, these are not included as part of the kit

Good evening everyone well the decking was completed, without to much fuss, and everything was the same both side, Joggling is a bit of an art, but got better as time went by then i had a fantastic idea remove the king planks sand them back and re-stain , sort the wonky nibbles out and then varnish the planking before the king plank go back on brilliant idea (actually it was a very very bad idea, just spent three hours getting them back in, they bear no resemblance to what i have been test fitting over the last few days, god i make some work for myself lol the stand is temporary for now i want to paint it a different colour to the hull which will be blue
