Good morning Dave its a long way off to go before its ready for its trails, well there is only one place to sail her and thats down at the lake on new brighton,but I may test her in my pond with my fish to see how she looks and to add the weights,of course Dave I will let you come to the first launch and if it looks right will give every one a wee drink but not smashing any bottles over the hull ?????
Anyway Dave thanks for your kind comments hope you have and still enjoying the build.Must go now coffee time then onto more building.

Well folks just a little up- date after putting on the primer last night on my deck plating had a very good look at it this morning and I was not happy bunny the primer reacted to the card that i got from the printers and it looked like a hairy jumper ,it was not like the f'wrd deck in which I'm happy with.So I spent a few hours running around the yellow pages for a very good art shop and I found one about 10 miles from the house,Tried to phone Mountfleet about the art paper that came with the kit which I dont think is enough they say use ART PAPER MO the art shop I went to and the owner came out to help me is an artist very helpful in the shop so I got 3 big sheets of art paper and when I got home I cut a little bit of the card and sprayed with primer went back after a nice cuppa and I was all smiles again it looked really great.So I was going to ripe up the whole lot that I hacve done,but in the end decided to do another way will tell you all once its done and what im doing will take photos and keep you in-formed.By the way does anyone know if there is someone out there who does the mould of the hull of the Sir Lancelot and please not Mountfleet.

well its all back on course have redone the deck plating and its been done the same way and in nearly two pieces just a little join fixed it all on the deck two days ago and today i gave it a coat and two maybe three of primer and its looking good this time have taken photos and will be posting them sometime tomorrow.I have also done the fixing of the bottom of the front deck ready for the big gun to go into place but not before i do the hull getting really close to painting the hull.

wallace · « **Reply #105 on:** June 25, 2009, 04:59:42 pm »

heres as promise the photos of the deck plating, also the front of the gun deck all filled in.
Just done a little bit today and that was trying to put the capping rail around the stern and as you can see by the photos i have had to fill hope it looks ok when sanded.

Hello to all sorry its been awhile since anything has been put on here. well the reason is I had a bad few weeks back and fore to the hospitals for this and that.It must be around 6 weeks since I have posted things about the building.
So what have I done to the build well done a few of the small bits the lovely white metal rubbing it down and prime the little things then the top coat,have also done alot of the boat deck both sides its really tested me to the limits as you only have photos from books etc to go on and other models but its all coming together nice and slowly the photos are off the platforms for the boats both sides and the rudder hatch also the platforms at the stern started on the lifebelts and racks for the lifebelts.Hope you like the photos
Also I have started on the hull again and these photos I hope are the last of the primmer going on as the hull was in such a mess.
