[boatman]

An the right way up

[boatman]

AN DUE to the length of this hull im pretty sure im gonna have to brake with complete scale an fit a bow thruster as I know the real ship dint have one but I will need to fit one as if the wind get up that big hull with only one rudder will be all over the show so I think i'll fit one for station keepin

[boatman]

port side shot an she's getting big

[boatman]

strb side shot

[boatman]

An how i'll fit the bow thruster when I get one in tiger like I did in my Nimitz a pic or two of the item

[boatman]

HOW IT WILL be made water proof in hull usein resin

[boatman]

AN ALL that will be seen is the hole in the hull but I think I will get a bit bigger one for tiger

Looking even more impressive mate that is bigger than anything I've ever made (I did make a bigger Mississippi sternwheeler than the six footer but didn't take into account getting it out of the bedroom and down the stairs, still youth is for learning) yes the Honda was ok.
Pete I have a few more pics of the Waverley but don't want to take over this build with pics of mine.
