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.

Good point Ken - how about starting a new thread then?

Mate I didn't I turned it into a coffee table and in the end broke it up.
Pete I don't think I have enough pics left of it to justify making a post of it.

CHEERS Bob for the comment an yes would I love to give it to them to sort out but I think im kinda stuck with it if you pardon the pun as that RESIN sticks to every thing YUK

an the whole hull now F/G DONE hooray
WELL now that F/G out of the way thank goodness ive now sanded down the hull an nxt job lookin for dimples in hull to fill an I can get quite tedious
You need a extension to the shed!
AN jumpin the gun a bit id thought id draw out the outline of the deck so its ready to cut out never know this build might only be 3yrs instead of 5 yrs lol but its comin on faster than I thought it would 
Bob I think I need a bigger shed not just an extension as she is quite big now makes me wonder how the heck I managed to carry Nimitz's hull around as that was bigger still but its all good fun an im enjoyin the build apart from the F/G ing soon be time to do all the hull with sandin sealer to make the hull water proof about 6 coats I reckon
