Hi all, the superstructure has now been sprayed, the orange looks pale on the photo but it is VW brilliant orange.
The next job will be the none slip matting to go on the top walk way and the steps, so up to now I am very happy with the progress made.

Hi all, today I managed to get most of the running and search lights wired up, also it was time for the crew to board so it's now starting to look the part.........I am very happy with the way it looks.

Hi mate, the colours are as they are now mate in the photos, some of the lifeboat guys on the forum kindly put up the list of paints required. As this is my first lifeboat I don't know if it's the old or the current but I am sure the lifeboat guys will put us right on this. :-)) :-))

Very nice mate, I hope to get mine on the water tomorrow for trials weather permitting so I should have some photos of her on the water. It's based on the Mabel Alice No 52-24.  :-)) :-))

she looking very nice,   mine hopfully will be the kenneth thelwall of holyhead once her make over is finished

i liked were you put your RNLI logo on the other side of the window as to both 52- 24 and 52-37 never had that superstructure  that yours has and also what i have,  the real ones had the flat side and have been struggling were to put the boats name,
