captainbob Posted August 25, 2015 Share #487 Posted August 25, 2015 Yes she is lovely. I find it amazing that I like the plans but it is only after the hull is finished that I see the real beauty.

Jim Lad Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share #488 Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks, peter and Janos. Yes, Bob, I agree. You get the hull finished and suddenly there's a ship in your hands. John GLakie and Omega1234 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share #489 Posted August 31, 2015 Finally took a few photos of the Pritt with a few coats of Poly on the hull. I like the finish! Progress will be even slower for a bit as I research deck details of the ship and then build them.

GLakie Posted August 31, 2015 Share #491 Posted August 31, 2015 They say there's no such thing as perfect, but if that hull and deck planking isn't perfect, it's so close to it, it ain't funny.

Jim Lad Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share #501 Posted November 12, 2015 An update at last after our recent holidays! I've started work on the various cabins. The large cabin midships was originally the hold which would have housed the dive air pumps, amongst other things, but was converted to accommodation when converted to a mission ship. The small after cabin was originally the masters/divers cabin when she was a pearl sheller.

Your Hull and Deck are absolutely fantastic mate, I don't think I've seen one better, you must be so pleased. Good construction of the cabin frames, it's going to be interesting to see these develop.
