Still waiting for my running gear. Why do people send out recorded stuff 2nd class post ? No telling when I will get it.
I used a Stanley knife blade to scrape off the pattern of planking where there shouldn't be any.
As I said the rudder is fitted.
I have prepared the hull to receive the decks. The foredeck is fitted.
I intend to join the main deck to the forecastle deck so that I have plenty of access.
I have fixed coamings around the rear deck and cut an access hatch so i can get at tiller if necessary. This hatch is under the depth charges so I have had to make the racks so I can get the size of the hatch right
I have started to make up the main parts of the superstructure so that when I eventually get and install the running gear, I will be able to use the superstructure to help hold the decks together.
