Looking very good Peter, I am following with interest.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Excellent work Peter. Very interesting build.

Just spent the whole day sealing the inside of the the Hull and just in case I had sealed the outside with some watered down pva glue

[Jim R]

Excellent progress. That first layer on the hull looks very neat. A great base for subsequent work .
What do you use to seal the hull interior?

[A_J_Rimmer]

Superb stuff!

I used normal wood glue watered down slightly and two layers of fabric gauze

[peterairfix]

Thin planks added to bow and stern
And six small blocks where the removable decking will be screwed down

[Guest]

Wow!!! that is HUGE! great work on it so far!

[peterairfix]

First resin piece fitted to the bow
And made a start on superstructure

[peterairfix]

Finally started on the second layer of planking and the decks are screwed in place

[peterairfix]

After what seems an age the second layer of planking is finished but there is still a lot to do before the final sand and filling
And the next parts to be fitted are the resin bow and stern fittings and the centre prop former some more decking pieces and more parts for the upper hull
