good evening everyone not quite so much progress made taday as like, Game of thrones got in the way 3 times they are lockers in the cockpit deck, they open up to two levels, which apparently give access to an engine! the hull inner bulkheads and the outer 6mm of the decking (which i have now found out is not decking, but a steel water way) are all the same colour Next decision is decking, i was replacing the supplied strips with lime, but mine is the same width but only 0.5mm thick as the supplied stuff and king plank is 1mm real dorade cockpit locker

good evening everyone day 2 first do again I didnt like the cockpit walls, so i covered the original wood with .5 plastic card, primed and sprayed, this colour will be the same as the hull, the cockpit deck does anyone know if that would be a locker, or access to a pump?
-
just looking at the cockpit, the lime seams to have a better finish on one side, so i may do it again to make it look the same, must remember that for the main decking, i have also been contemplating the caulking, i normally use a permanent marker, was going to try card, but im not sure i can get the results i fancy
-
Some white splintery stuff i dont know what to do as a decking protector, wondering if i should try a poly wipe satin, as normally use a satin water based varnish
-
Good morning everyone i have been working on the cockpit (not sure if thats the right word for the pit), i am using lime strips, not the wood that came with the kit, also i am using red mahogany gloss/stain for the contrast, i will also use this for the centre plank and other deck accessories

No, i personally would add more detail than see water, plus i dont have a big enough car, and lol it means i would have to socialise with the population out side of my dog walking routes
-
I think gold would look great, but i love the idea of a deep blue, the annoying thing is that when the deck is fitted, the hull is then painted with the two outer planks of decking, that idea what ever colour scares me, my masking is poor at the best of times
-
hope mine turn out this good
-
it does take any flex out of the plastic, provides a platform for a lot of the RC gear, and a means of getting the deck level all around,

good morning everyone its is certainly a change to work on a project and see some of the work bench must admit is am pleased with this kit so far, the laser cut hull frames have gone together with no issues, i have read cases where this is not the case, Once the hull formers are made up the deck is fitted, i thought that this would then be fitted inside of the hull, but no, deck planking is fitted first, then the scuppers and other hull openings are made, before this is done after a few dry runs to ensure that the assembly drops into the hull the deck was fitted, this has been glued and pinned, i will remove the pins, or fille them down today so far this build is 10 out of 10

Good evening everyone well that's it, the trawler is finished, but that not the end of her, she will be going into a diorama at some stage in the future, i will at that time do any weathering i enjoyed a this build a lot, the instructions were poor, plans not much better, every bit of white metal required some attention, and i would do it all again tomorrow painting was mainly rattle can primer and acrylics left over from other builds large amounts of Red, white with Matt black were used i would like to thank everyone who has followed me , and for comments and likes, going to spend tomorrow cleaning up the mancave and get the next project on the go, see you all on another thread

good evening everyone still never finished her today, but did get to season 5 of Game of thrones life buoys done, I only had flat white and flat red left, and i think its better than gloss, the fish ponds took ages to put back into position, 150 loose boards, i cannot secure them until im sure how the build is going to be displayed lighting tested and working, 2 circuits nav lights on one, everything else on the other

good afternoon Keith i have made the decision to bring 6 lines down, 3 from either side of the two fwd aft lines, where the insulators are sited , to the wheel house roof, the only problem i face is that the after mast is part of the superstructure where as the fwd mast is not, so i need to find a quick release method. not that mine should be taken apart again after
