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

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..

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

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.  :-)) :-))
