Jim Lad Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share #301 Posted January 9, 2020 You're quite right, mate - that part of the planking will be covered by a carved badge, so I wasn't too worried about absolute symmetry, I just wanted to put in an idea of the general shape.

Jim Lad Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share #302 Posted January 23, 2020 Well, the 'Meteor' staggers slowly ahead. The fore and main mast steps are in (I'm amazed that I remembered them) and I've made a start on the outer hull planking. All things being equal, it will be quite a while before the hull planking reaches its conclusion.

Jim Lad Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share #315 Posted February 5, 2020 The external planking creeps slowly ahead. The last couple of visits to the museum I seem to have been spending at least as much time in meetings with staff as I have model making. Perhaps I'm slowly being drawn into the bottomless black hole of the public service!
