Jay can you tell me what your mast stay is connected to in the middle of your front cabin as I cant find anything in my box of bits.
Also looking at your photos you dont appear to have a windscreen or navigation lights.

Richard

J.beazley · « **Reply #34 on:** February 23, 2007, 06:36:56 pm »

Will go and take a picsture just for you buddy

still need to get myself some LED nav lights and sort out the rigging

mmmmmm might have a late one tonight and do some building.

Jay

J.beazley · « **Reply #35 on:** February 23, 2007, 06:56:19 pm »

In the picture i have drilled a hole through the mast and fixed a small brass rod all the way through,that way the mast doesnt fall down the holes any more then what i wanted while i used epoxy resin to make sure it stayed in place.

Jay

DickyD · « **Reply #36 on:** February 23, 2007, 08:34:11 pm »

Thanks Jay
What I really wanted was a photo of the top of the superstructure at the front to see what the stays are fixed to.
Right at the front in the middle.

Richard

J.beazley · « **Reply #37 on:** February 24, 2007, 09:40:58 am »

J.beazley · « **Reply #38 on:** February 28, 2007, 08:18:11 am »

Not one to moan at all but:

PRETTY PLEASE could you move my build into the warship section please Martin???

Guess you could call it a work boat being a minesweeper but like DickyD says its a warship

This moaning lark is hard work think i shall stick to being nice.

Cheers Jay.

DickyD · « **Reply #39 on:** February 28, 2007, 08:41:05 am »

DickyD · « **Reply #40 on:** February 28, 2007, 09:15:31 am »

Richard

J.beazley · « **Reply #41 on:** February 28, 2007, 09:32:12 am »

Thanks oh humble leader of all things boat like

doing some rebuilding of the rear deck today as the main winch and rib need finishing off, plus i need to make the davits from scratch.

Jay

DickyD · « **Reply #42 on:** February 28, 2007, 10:06:51 am »

Hi Jay
What colour is the rib.

Richard

J.beazley · « **Reply #43 on:** March 02, 2007, 04:41:22 pm »

Not posted a progress for a bit so thought i may aswell post a pic of the re-fitting of the rear deck and the finished RIB, still need to paint the hatchs but will do that this evening.

i must confess thanks to Frattons model store i did buy a pre built RIB as i messed the original one up trying to epoxy the 2 halves together.
will have the nav lights rigged and working tonight fingers crossed might have a light pointing over the rear deckj aswell to light it up a little.

Jay

J.beazley · « **Reply #44 on:** March 04, 2007, 10:40:15 am »

Winch hatch and assembly finished and ready for fixing down on the deck.

Will take a pic of the deck later on once ive fitted the davits and started on the mine sweeping equipment.

Jay

DickyD · « **Reply #45 on:** March 04, 2007, 02:48:30 pm »

Hi Jay you're getting there then?

Richard

J.beazley · « **Reply #46 on:** March 04, 2007, 03:28:52 pm »

Its not far from being finished just the little bits that make a big difference.
made a start on the drones but got no paint so cant finish off the entire deck :(
