Some more of the build small boat painted just needs a touch up then onto the boat deck she goes.
All the photos are showing boats depth chargers etc  just sitting on the Sir Lancelot  just wanted to see how they are looking and what more I can do to them the boat stays I'm going to re-do when I get the eye bolts at the show next week-end from mountfleet  if you go back to the big gun at the front you will see the deck eye bolt that I used there I like them so have ordered 20 to used around the deck.

Theses photo's are about the small bits on the boat but still have to be done.
They are the Large Rigging Screws for the lines from the main mast to the bow
The small rigging screws for more lines
And the nuts and bolts to fix the gallows to the deck
All have been cleaned and small bits taken off I have painted them with three coats of primmer
I know they are boring but got to be done. :-)) :-)) :-))

up date on things over the past weeks still doing all the small bits and the photos here are about the fittings that hold the gallows to the deck these are the nuts and bolts.
Also a re-do of the lifebelt locker was not happy with the first one, and other  parts are the Oropesa float cranes took them out of container that was holding all jobs done and after looking at them both once again was not happy with the paint so to day rub them down with 500 grade paper and re-painted then hope ok for tomorrow when i will put the cord to the cranes etc and get ready to fit them onto the boat. Also have painted well primed the eye bolts will top coat over the next few days. :-)) :-)) :-))

Sorry its been well over a month since I last posted anything but what with all things going on with my body I have not done much to the boat.
Well I let my boat out of my sight for the past 4 days  to a great person who is a good member of Ellesmere Port model Boat Club as I'm no good at doing working lights.
So these photos are the working lights on the Sir Lancelot and what a job my friend has done at the moment alot of the fittings are still not clued down I cannot thank him enough thank you S
Lights done on the f/ward portholes
port/stbd lights
wheelhouse
engine room
cabin under bridge
searchlight
overtaking light

The mast head light is to be done later need the very thin wire to run up the mast

Back in the mood for building again  so these photo taken this afternoon  28/5/10 in the lovely sunshine.
The photos are the building up of the main deck the main mast has been pin and also 4 holes drilled into the deck to take the brass nuts and bolts so the mast can be removed for transporting to lake its been done that way as the mast head light the wires will run down both sides of the mast and under the deck to join up with all the other wires Im thinking now about putting lights into the companionways and the raised skylight behide the mast.
The photos show most of the fitting fixed to the deck only a few not done.
   (Would welcome any comments about it)

Hi Wallace,

Firstly, apologies for not posting previously on your build log - as you know, I've been following the build with much interest, and must say that you are doing a super job. I can't wait to see the finished boat on the water (shouldn't be too long now!!??).

I think we agree that the white-metal stanchions are a little fragile (as mentioned in the latest posting of my build), and the brass items you have used instead look the business. You've done a great job of the railings too.

I see that you have recently been adding items to the front section of the main deck, and notice that (like me) you've had to trim the printed deck overlay, as it's a bit too wide to fit between the bulwark supports!! I've painted the doors to the companionways grey, but looking at yours which you've varnished/stained, I wish in hindsight that I'd done the same - they look much better.

The lights that a friend has done for you look very good indeed - they certainly add that extra touch to any boat.

Keep up the great work Wallace, I'll be looking in regularly!

Best wishes, Paul
