wow.... couldn't have gotten a better match if you had them custom made.

Taranis · « **Reply #703 on:** May 07, 2021, 07:43:24 am »

Yes thank you I agree

Some might question why the vessel has this? in a towing role they have little choice but to follow.

In an ice breaking role then it's probably clear what you need to do as she clears a path, however maybe lit up at night it is more useful.

Perhaps it's a bit of fun tongue in cheek by the crew or Captain

In any event it looks nice

Hard to believe how long a wait it’s been for warm dry weather. However it’s coming back soon! So the inbetweener Mercantic will be shelved in preference to painting

Taranis · « **Reply #705 on:** May 29, 2021, 09:01:15 pm »

Mind is set decision made. I'm masking up the lower superstructure tomorrow for the gloss appliance white. This will open up a whole load of reassembly especially finally fixing the upper levels together.
Continued warm dry weather will let me get the green on the hull.

So it begins let the Sun keep shining

A bit more masking to do for the forward companionway and the aft vent pipe recesses

very nice Andy
Looking forward to see the hull painted all that green

Thank you Jason, me too

The superstructure is finally all screwed together I will have to weigh it but I'm guessing about 4kg.

Superb Andy.

Taranis · « **Reply #710 on:** May 30, 2021, 10:16:23 pm »

Thank you Bill. The more I do the more I see to do

At least if I get the green done I can spend winter adding finer points

unless I start something else

again.....

Possible half a day masking up, she's certainly going to be transformed in the next post

Stunning looking boat

Taranis · « **Reply #712 on:** May 31, 2021, 09:46:35 am »

Thanks Carl. Another hundred or so photos should get it done

Almost 2000 in the gallery https://techno.smugmug.com/Stevns-Arctic/

CarlC · « **Reply #713 on:** May 31, 2021, 01:01:51 pm »

Thank you so much for sharing your build gallery. As a new builder I have learnt so much from your photos, and I will be trying some of the techniques I have seen on the restoration I am currently doing of a Slipways MV Conserver.

You ship looks amazing, and I look forward to following the build as you progress to the finish line.

Taranis · « **Reply #714 on:** May 31, 2021, 06:34:00 pm »

A cold wind today so didn't get any paint on.
Some more assembly instead.

Taranis · « **Reply #715 on:** June 01, 2021, 05:43:46 pm »

The big day RAL6001. It's been too windy really but plenty warm enough so I ploughed ahead.

Looking amazing Andy well worth the late, I think you got it right with that green.
Regards Howard.

Wow, that looks stunning

Very nice work there Andy - went back to your early posts to review the start of this one - a good read!

Thanks for taking time to provide the updates.

Taranis · « **Reply #721 on:** June 01, 2021, 08:33:48 pm »

Wow that must have taken a while

Thank you

Carl too

mike_victoriabc · « **Reply #722 on:** June 01, 2021, 09:37:26 pm »

Not finished - lot's there!

steve mahoney · « **Reply #723 on:** June 01, 2021, 10:19:36 pm »

Looks great.
I always find the last 5% the hardest to finish as my mind is already onto the next project. Hang in there.

Taranis · « **Reply #724 on:** June 01, 2021, 10:29:31 pm »

Absolutely Steve but progress today is good because its all been sat in a drawer waiting for a simple paint job! The whole of May written off.
I have a secret though..... all of my models have 5% left

Anchors finally fitted and looking at flags

Picture no 2,010 in the gallery
