Neil this cruelty to the crew. where is health & safety when you need them or would these guys fall under the RSPCA ( hope I got that right)They are sure looking good though & will add that extra detail to the completed boats. One of these days Neil you will have to give up your day job & may be take up model boat building as a hobby.Keep up the good work, you are like a good cartoon writer, I would not miss one of your strips for anything. Mick B.

I sincerely hope all the moderators are monitoring this thread and prevent this happening on a family forum such as this.
OK for you in private but

I promise you all this that there are a few guys that can have a free round or two if we make it to the Wickstead weekend next year & both Phyllis & I will be more than happy to pay. By that time I hope your little men Neil will have arms ready to raise a glass in a toast to a great Forum & also to a great bunch of guys. Mick B.

A good pair of scissors & you start from the top. That scares the hell out of them,just make sure you have the money for a new nightie Trawlerman, but in those circumstances we would all subscribe to a replacement, preferably the easy access model that has fur around the bottom as a neck warmer, LOL.

`Gawd, Mick.......it's bad enough thinking of Rodney performing, never mind you describing things in graphic detail...........you must have a very warped mind....was it whilst lay in hospital leering at all those nice nurses that you developed this fettish

go for a cold shower man...and get over it.

What a fantastic looking old saw !!!
As far as access aft, it was the right thing to do to open 'er up, otherwise fate would bring failure to the servo straight away and the job of cover removal would have been verrrrry unpleasant..
Boats are looking Great !

I swear Neil Noah must have used some of your tools when he was building the ark. As usual everyday more progress, it is my favourite thread. Always something to learn, even if it is just how to correct mistakes & make everything look like new again.Thanks again for a great build & thread. Mick B.

Neil, the only thing I can see that you might have problems with is when sailing it'll be difficult to have a coxswain at the wheel, if the wheel is connected to the servo. However, you could attach a length of tube to the back of the wheel so it could be essentially free-wheeling on the shaft.

I'm lucky in that the 45' doesn't have this type of steering, but I've still got to put the servo in the endbox. How did you do the rudder connection on the Liverpool?

Hi andrew......I'm just going to put the coxs'ns arm close to the wheel as though he's touching it.......no one with even half decent eyesight will see it from 50 feet on the lake,

as for the Liverpool steering I prayed to luck that the servo wouldn't give me trouble, and it was all sealed inside the end box, if I can remember properly............luckily whilst in my ownership, my prayers were answered. the linkage was as with the Anne Letitia Russell kit.
I would do it different though if I built another though, so as to be able to access it.

Sadly my second daughter came down with the flu today ( s'ppose it'll be my turn in the next few days) and so I had to don my nurses cap on again today as Swmbo was out working, and look after her.
It's swmbo's birthday tomorrow so decided as I couldn't get into the workshop i'd turn my attention to other creative matters, and so decided to bake her a chocolate birthday cake.
My other daughter who loves making things in the kitchen decorated it for us, and here's the results of our joint efforts.

nom nom.............look forward to tomorrow.

neil.
