I can already see the looks of awe and envy, once you finally take this thing out on the water...

[Guest]

Thanks Steve. The RNLI Life Boats are a real big thing over here and these unsung hero's who save a lot of lives at sea aren't as well recognised as they should be, however, for those that do they are great enthusiasts and look over these models with great envy especially as you say the club members or spectators that love the whole model boat thing. There aren't many of these models in clubs as you need the skill to build them as well as the cost involved. Im sure im correct in saying that for anyone who owns any type of RNLI boat it is the pride of their collection. This will be mine.

Cheers

I'm Canadian by birth, but Scottish/Dutch-German by heritage.

In I've been told my family has a "castle" in Greenock, but it was never much to brag about. I checked today, there are no castles specifically, just large "chateaux". Probably the same in the Scott clan case.

To which we were also a family of shipbuilders. One of the oldest in the country. Responsible for such hulls as "Mayflower" and "Cutty Sark". But your work faaaaaar superior to anything I could do today, much to the chagrin of my ancestors, I'm sure.

(On a side note, we also include as forebears Sir Walter Scott -I assume where I get my wordsmithery and bad monetary skills from- and Margaret Scott, the latter was executed on sept 22, 1692 in salem mass. for being a witch. Crazy stuff.

Some great history there Steve and some amazing stuff. Would be a fantastic conversation around any dinner table im sure.

Day 50

Thanks all - I have applied a few coats of primer to the rear cabin and while waiting for this to dry I decided to paint and add the winch and a few of the other deck parts.

Day 52

One critical; thing about building the wheelhouse is that the boson sits at the right height. The seat is designed to be installed but it may be to high, so i have fitted the boson together and will check the height when the time comes.

It is easier to paint some areas now as I go along, just makes the job less hard.
