Jim Lad Posted July 23, 2015 Author #465 Posted July 23, 2015 Thanks for the kind words, all. Bedford - building with an audience is usually fine - it's when the (sometimes) admiring public just stand there and watch your every move with accompanying flattering comments that it gets a bit disconcerting.

Jim Lad Posted August 20, 2015 Author #473 Posted August 20, 2015 Work on the 'Pritt' has been very slow of late. On my last couple of visits to the museum I've spent most of my time entertaining relatives rather than model making, however she's now reached the stage where the basic hull is complete and she's been brought home to receive a few coats of wipe on Poly to protect her as the build goes forward. here are a few photos showing the completed hull - I'll post some more once she's got some finish applied so you can see what she looks like then. John Bobstrake, bhermann, Elia and 25 others 28
Elia Posted August 20, 2015 #474 Posted August 20, 2015 John, Little Francis Pitt looks super. I really like that aft deck view showing the margin planks with the stanchions neatly cut in, the treenailling of the deck planks to the deck framing, and the complexity of the wood details which are formed around the transom. Very very nice. Cheers, Elia Omega1234, Piet, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Elia Rose Valley, PA Arethusa: 1907 Gloucester Knockabout
gjdale Posted August 20, 2015 #475 Posted August 20, 2015 She sure is looking nice John.
