We got fed up of Dave running his Arun round in the buff . . . .



So he's took the hint and . . . .

Still a way to go , more fittings / handrails / toeboards etc .


These Models By Design Aruns look imposing on the water . . .

Not as HEAVY as you would think either . . .

Thanks Bill for posting the photos on, I will have to remember to take a camera. I can say I am made up with the way it goes so now I can get stuck in and get her finished. :-)) :-))

Hi all, a bit more has been done on the Arun as in the rails along each side with the kick boards. It should be completed in a week or two then I will be looking forward to enjoy sailing her. :-))

Hi Garreth, the search lights are working mate along with all the navigation and deck lights, I am looking into a working crane but I have not decided yet. The two casualty lifts both work from the transmitter which was easy to do and look the part.

Best regards Dave.
