Here's some more photos of the build.
These's photos are what I have done last year but now that the build is really under way these I'm not happy with  as you can see the brush marks all over so the first photos are the first ones then I re-rubbed them down re- stained them and re- varnish them.Hope you can see the difference in them.

Hi Wallace,

The lights look great, and they really bring the boat to life.

Were LED lights used, or grain of wheat bulbs?

By the way, have you built the Caldercraft Resolve?, as I am thinking of buying this as my next project.

Regards, Paul.

Hi Wallace

Thanks for your kind comments on my build, and sorry to hear that you've been unwell - hope you're now back to full health.

Your boat is looking great - not far to go now!

Keep up the good work Wallace.

Best wishes,
Paul.
