After finding myself at a loss of something to do , whilst waiting for bits to arrive to complete my osprey . I dug out the Parat tug that i started building before the osprey but put it to one side as i didnt have advanced enough radio equipment to make full use of it . Took the missus and kids into leeds on friday and managed to sneak away long enough to order some new radio gear , cant wait till it arrives .
I previously had the hull built and painted . The VS drive units installed and made a start on the wheelhouse roof .
Over the weekend i managed to clean it up a bit . Put the super structure together and give it a lick of paint . Fit the fire monitors on the wheelhouse roof and the mechanism that makes them rotate .
This afternoon i got to do my favourite bit , the handrails . These are only loosely assembled , they will be finally fixed after they are painted .
Having a well deserved cuppa now
