This is one I haven't tried, Ford Signal Orange with a subtle hint of a satin white mixed......looks slightly duller than the modern boats, looking at various pics it looks a fairly good match .

yeh, i think i made the right choice spraying mine orange as well........i prefer it to gray, at the mo.

6705russell · « **Reply #76 on:** February 18, 2011, 08:58:26 PM »

Yes definitely the right choice Neil, don't think I could spray a grey one!

6705russell · « **Reply #77 on:** February 19, 2011, 05:52:08 PM »

Stripes added, forward companionway built up and sprayed and a another coat given to the superstructure, next on the list are the bulwark supports...

Well this week i have started to build up the D Class boat, bit of a tricky build but getting there with a heat gun and a bit of filler

justboatonic · « **Reply #79 on:** February 22, 2011, 08:22:59 PM »

Blimey Russ, that build is awesome!

A bit more lacquering applied to the hull tonight to give some more protection against the elements and added the ships number...

Looking good Neil, looking very good...

I went off on a tangent last night and started work on the outboard for the D class, eventually that will be a working model as well..

Russ

nhp651 · « **Reply #89 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:56:14 AM »

building big gives you a lot of scope, especially with such things as the "daughter" boat...............who needs German cruiser boats like Adolph Bermpohl to give you some fun.......get it all here with the good ol' RNLI boats, lol

Number 6 · « **Reply #93 on:** March 16, 2011, 05:06:55 PM »

I know you've had more important things on your mind lately, just trying get you motivated again. I've finished the superstructure on FCB2 now and have started priming it. Won't get much done tomorrow with working. John Stanway is after a motor and esc for that perkassa they're building for that young lad, I'm going have a look in a bit if I've got anything but not sure. See you Sunday if not before, Dave.

nhp651 · « **Reply #94 on:** March 17, 2011, 07:52:39 PM »

good to hear from you this evening, russ..........thought you'd got locked in at work.

well, i've finally finished my Clyde except for the prop on the outboard on the rib......will have to find a little one for that............enjoyed building............but will enjoy sailing it even more, once i get my hernia busting truss made for me, lol.
anyway, here it is, dust and all.
