Well Andy I am not into boats so have not, aplogies, tuned into your project but did following seeing the following of your project.

Quite incredible a really great model & great patience to go with all of this.

Like the "distressed" (as known in antiques) look that you have given the model really great & will now be follow to the launching.

And after hours of measuring and cutting the planking with a razor saw and mitre block I decided to invest in a plank cutter.

Amazing weathering Andy,that plank cutter looks like it will pay for itself in no time! Looking forward to the next update!

Thanks Trey. It was a shame I didn't buy one earlier but I didn't know that you could get one until I looked through their catalogue.

Cheers

Day 54

Thanks guys for your valuable comments. Today I decided that its time to tackle the life boats, im not happy with the plastic ones provided so I decided to have a go at what they call lofting. This is my very first attempt and im quite happy with the result. This one is far from finished as the inside has to have ribs etc. but take a look at where we are so far. Im sure that this isn't the way it should be done but eh it came out ok in the end.
