Mick, having read through this whole build thread, I can but echo everyone else's comments, an absolutely superb piece of craftsmanship, and a really enjoyable read throughout.

Well Mick, I have to join the others and say that you are producing a thing of beauty there.

Love the brass(?) rubbing strip on the prow.
Mick?

Hi Mick,
That's a lovely gloss, is this 2 part mixed and sprayed or the aerosol can type? I gather it can be pretty toxic stuff and not the easiest and most convenient of finishes but the results are great.

Hi Roger,
Yes its 2 part mixed and sprayed at 60psi, it is toxic, I use a airfed mask.
Its the same lacquer as used in motor industry, as you say not the easiest but well worth it, cures very quickly can be wet flatted and polished if necessary also scratch resistant.

Hi Mick
You have been busy, what a lovely boat you have produced must be time for the boiler soon?
I've been away for a bit but the old Miranda is just about done on the hull with the front oops Bow and Stern mahogany part nearly done.
Will post pictures when finished. I must say your help and inspiration have "Reserect Miranda"
I must ask, how do you get your pictures to post full size, mine end up as icons and have to click on them to see the full size.
Hope you are well

Alan

Hi Alan,

Yes its back to the metal work now, I have 2 brass water tanks to build which will be located either side of the boiler then it's the boiler build I will be relying on my good friend George (ooyah 2) for his expertise to guide me through the process.

I look forward to your pictures of Miranda, when I download my pictures I use Attach: and click Browse not
Add image to post, depending on your camera you might have to resize your pictures to a maximum 161KB.

Hi Mick

Yes, I will have to stow it somewhere where it will not float away when the Boat sinks, any suggestions?

Mick

Patternmaker · « **Reply #199 on:** September 29, 2011, 01:56:09 pm »

I have had many suggestions this model should not be put in the water, but displayed only and fit a geared electric motor with a speed controller inside a mock boiler. This would be possible by connecting a shaft from a Motor to the forward end of the crankshaft. MBM members I would very much appreciate your opinions on this suggestion.
