Hi AT Boatyard,

This build is coming along great. It is starting to look good.

One for the camera at Wicksteed, me thinks !!

Looks really big already.

Keep up the good work AT. Looking forward to seeing this ship on the water.

regards
Debs and Alan

Hi everyone out there in mayhem land.
Well once again the weekend is here and then almost gone!!!!!!
Well this week has been spent ordering parts and getting fiberglass for the hull.
The good thing is it has all turned up on time!!!!!
I have been making the rudders and tiller arms.
I am making new a frames,as i am not happy with the first set.
I now have the prop shafts at 4 foot long and 1/2" in diameter.

Hi there AT, thought this may be of interest to you, read on scale-rotors.com, Dave.

"IPMS Germany has a listing of new Revell Germany kits for 2011. I think most are already known, but it's the first I have seen mention of kit no. 04652. It's a 1/32 Westland Sea Lynx Mk.88/HAS Mk.2 scheduled for Oct/2011."

Hi,
These may be of interest, HMS Daring leaving Portsmouth yesterday. Photographed from the Spinnaker Tower.

I hope these are of some use.
If you are ever in the Portsmouth area and want to know what is moving and when, type in on that internet thingy QHM Portsmouth and follow the link to movements. The next days movements are usually up by lunchtime. Beware that they also list cold moves and basin movements on the list, so you could be waiting for a vessel that has just been stuck in drydock!! For those who know, what does SOSA stand for top left on their page, it usually relates to a ship??

pugwash · « **Reply #42 on:** March 15, 2011, 08:03:54 pm »

When you check back at other dates for movements you notice it SOSA is usually listed as a fairly big ship like a carrier or T45 so I am guessing it just
indicates the Senior officer of the ships that are in the dockyard on that date

Hi all my fellow Mayhemers, Well another busy week of building. We are now at the half way stage in time of the build.This weekend is the 10th working week of the build. We now have nine working weeks to get her painted and on the water. Three quarters of the super structure is now built and by the end of next week the hull will be complete. All the mechanical parts are being put into the stern section this weekend. Next month the hull and super structure will be finished and painted leaving 3 weekends in May for testing and finishing off as much as we can, ready for it's maiden voyage at the Mayhem weekend at Wicksteed Park. There will be more detail to be added as the year goes on, now that all three stages of the hull are built it feels like we can now see the end of the project in sight.
Here are a few pictures for you to glance over.

regards
AT

PS A big thankyou to unbuiltnautilus for the pictures
