Thanks John perhaps you can all help me decide on the hull ......historically white but I like wood what do you think ?

Sod the history stick with the wood

 

[Bri62]

Agreed guys wood it is

 

[flyjoe180]

It's a lovely looking wood, good choice Brian. That lamp is freaky

 

[Bri62]

Morning because I'm not painting the hull I have had to plank the keel for an acceptable finish, time consuming but worth it I think!

 

[Bri62]

Done for today

 

[wotan]

Looking very nice the wood finish. Are you going to tree nail it?

John

 

[Bri62]

Are you going to tree nail it?

Not sure yet there is an awful lot of planks/nails .....maybe give it a miss the correct scale would be very difficult to achieve.

 

[Bri62]

Morning guys planking of the hull and keel is done, I want to make some small doors next, not on the build instructions but will look good I reckon and a few of the decorations to go on.

 

[Nicko]

Really starting to look the part now Bri...

Nick

 

[Bri62]

Thanks Nick,
had a few hours attempting some stuff not in the build but I thought would look the part.

 

[Bri62]

Morning chaps, progress this morning done all but 2 doors and started port and stbd waste rails, they seem to be going in ok which is a pleasant surprise.

Had a hour this morning but really couldn't concentrate! I had a scan (abdominal aortic aneurysm screening) which I just got back from, and results are all good, might do a bit this afternoon.
Also received my rope making machine I plan to make all my own ropes now.
