These photos show what I have done to put the port holes right
Photo 1 filled with f/glass
photo 2  Rubbed down
photo 3 painted again
I may have to refill a little bit  as i can see day light around part of port holes but I will get it right

Hi Wallace,

Your boat's looking fabulous, very well done indeed.

I admire the way you go back and change things if you're not 100% happy with what you've done, even if it means alot of extra work.

Looking forward to seeing your S.L. on the water in the near future.

Regards,
Paul

Those brass window frames seen in the first few photos really are nice. I'll bet it must have taken you a lot of patience and skill to make them that good.

Once again Paul many thanks for kind words just a few more bits to go was going to put the whole boat into my pond to ballast right down but the weather was so nice on Sunday took me sheila - R and had a play for 4 hours  and Monday was a black one for me got something on my pc and its taken me up to now to put right but I done it.

The brass windows a friend on mayhem done them for me and what a great job he done I only done the rivets.

Just a quick update on the build just got to the boat falls awaiting to order the brass blocks and to fit the anchor been putting it off for ages have got to drill into the hull to fit the anchor got to get it right as I dont want to get water inside when me mind is right and the weather is for building  I will drill and eprox all around rub down then paint reason for drilling is I dont want to just glue it on as moving hands at the lake side will always break something so Im playing safe.
Here  are a few photos of my boats taken by my mate at the club show just wanted to share them with you all.

Here's the Sir Lancelot in my garden pond with the fish swimming around her and the S/L just abouts fits in but just great to get the final balance done,the last time was getting the weight right without the superstructor fitted,so when fitted in the pond on Sat4th June 2011 the boat just keeled over to port it took around two hours to get it right ,it was in and out of the pond top of then back on still could not get it right  so out it came again took the small 12v battery out from the bow and re-place it with the big 12v so now the boat had two 12v battery's in one for the motors and lights and a dead one up in the bows (will have to weigh the 12v  battery and replace it with lead that I have )dont want the battery moving when its in the water,also on both side in the hull is lead so now the Sir Lancelot is at its full weight around 56lbs its a very heavy boat.
All that left to do now is the brass blocks on the lifeboat and fixing the anchor then onto sea trails but will not put it in the boating lake at New Brighton as the water has drop a good 12 inches and the lake is contaminated and needs cleaning but club cant do it just yet as the builders have not give us water.
Hope you like the photos only a few more to take  then photos on the move in the lake.
If anyone would like a DVD with all the photos of the build I would be pleased to do so,many thanks to everyone for looking and all the kind replies.

Hi Wallace

Looking absolutely brilliant on the water -  you must be looking forward very much to sailing her on the lake.

My S.L. already has two 12v batteries in it, one below the main winch, and one in front of it, so I was happy to read from your posting that this extra weight is needed up front!

Well done again Wallace, look forward to some more photos of S.L. under full steam!

Regards,
Paul

These photos are about re-doing the ships boat  and bits that I missed not much more to do now.
I took the ships boat of S/L and it made it so easy to work on on the worktop all that it needs is to be put back onto the boat deck and fixed into place,I also done the supports arm for the superstructor port and stbd sides and at long last drill into the hull and fixed the anchor just needs abit of paint  so after 2.7 months of building the Sir Lancelot just waiting for the boating lake to be cleaned out and hopefully into the water to see how she goes.DVD's will be done to all who want.

 :-)) Well at long last the boating lake at New Brighton has been done and the corner that was cut out by the builders has now been filled in and a inlet has been done and fitted to the lake and last week one of the members of our  model boat society has filled the lake up-to 4 inches from the top had a sail this w/e and putting the boats in was just great no more back breaking by putting the boats in when the water is nearly 2 foot from the top.
So with the Sir Lancelot weighing around 90lbs the water height is just right I can now get S/L into the lake and see how she goes and to ballast up rightly.Photos will be taken so watch this space and also on our web site  wallasey model boat society.co.uk

Latest update on the Sir Lancelot 99% all done only the crew to paint up and two flags to make.
Well yesterday Sunday was the day she was going to be put into the boating lake as the club was having a Warship day run by Dave Wooley arrived at the lake at 08.50am in the pooring rain and having a good old chat with Dave the time was way passed 09.30am and everywhere was getting flooded Dave said its not a good day to have will go again in Sept.
Heres Sir Lancelot sitting in the car with all the gear to ballast her up and try her out on the lake well always another time.
