Evening Bob, thought I should show up after a day off !
Looks ok to me , anyway as you say a year in which you had far more important things to thing about think you've done well to even carry on .

Over a yr now, far, far too long

Coming on nicely Bob. But you do have to bear in mind a big boat like that is a complex subject and will take a lot of time. A yr or so seems on the money to me.

AN Bob mate your work on the kgv is stunning to me an why worry if its over a yr AS Tim has said seems on the money as remember like Tim says these ships are complex an not for the fainthearted as look at my tiger i know its near finshed but that took 4 yrs an yes i know there is a little bit more to it like wires an movin parts but thats all the enjoyment of the build an at least you dont have to worry about liftin your ships not like me OH DEAR
BUT you boyo keep up the good work an pics comin as im enjoyin both your builds

You got this Bob.
Re the tabs on PE. I found that a very fine scissors great for removing the most of those. A quick swipe with a 800grit takes the last. I also hold the part in my bending pliers.

Not a lot sorry Chris, been looking at pages and pages of decking! My god the choice. Malcolm our builder is cover over next week to measure up so we need to pick what we want, doing my head in and to add having a lot of garden work done so that to sort out as well!!

I think this wood decking is getting out of hand. :tears-of-joy: :smiling6: :tears-of-joy: :smiling3: :surprised:
Decking is a pleasing task. Especially when someone else is doing it for you. lol

Maybe he could give you a quote for the yamoto while hes there. Lol

The railings are fine Bob. They look very neat. I agree with Ian regarding the little nibs left on PE. I invested in a pair of Tamiya Photo Etch scissors - expensive, like all Tamiya tools, but very useful.
