HI GUYS well a bit more done on her an ive been doin some fiddley work on them steps ladders on the rear of the main S/S an fitting handrails an how steep they are i should imagine you had to be fairly fit to climb these as how steep they are fitted on the S/S an here ive fitted the bottom four steps on the main s/s

[boatman]

NEXT the top S/S with the two remaiining steps again very steep an ive made them so they will lift off with the top S,S an they are held in place by a retaining rod

HELLO Mark yea she is but its slow goin on them fiddley bits on the funnels took me a week to fit them all in on both funnels an was near a nevous wreck by the time i was done as i could not afford any mistakes as its would have been hard to rectifiy as them funnell skins are as thin as paper cheers for lookin in

HI Jim it is but im enjoying the challenges if i dont en up a nervous wreck first lol as it was crusial to get them painters rings fairly right an they must have had a good head for heights as them funnells must have been 40 to 50 ft hight if you fell from from that height onto a steel deck its game over an im looking forward to when i can start to put her back togeather again this time for keeps unless something needs serviceing
