Yesterday's work constructing two cutters and one dingy and adding all the pe to the hangers. 
Nicely done Peter.
I have temporarily attached the decking and some of bigger parts just to make sure everything fits. 
No boat construction today as I have been building the dinghies and cutters
And finally the last four which I will constructing today

As I had an hour or so free of plastic I took the opportunity to finish off painting the Hull by adding the dazzle and false bow and stern. 
For those who have a phobia of pe I suggest that you look away now as I have been working on the bridge section and building the smaller mast. 
Peter.
Lovely work with the sanity tester.

Crikey Peter, that was a bit of a test of eyes and patience.

Hi Peter
It's coming on a treat. All credit for coping with all the recent pe work and the other fiddly jobs.

I am getting to the point when I will be painting the larger parts and adding all the other parts but here is a mock up of what it currently looks like.
I have often thought about buying the full kit but having see a video of the unboxing it doesn't look much different than what I have now so I will be giving it a miss.

Hi Peter

Here's some of today's work adding some more decking and more pe.
