Could be a while too Stan as the weather people are saying we are going to get another beast from the east later this week. Stay warm and safe Stan

Hi Dave I think your last reply was jinxed snow all day and cold but I braved the elements and did a little. Currently I am laminating the hand rails with teak veneer a slow job but hopefully worth it.

Stan.

I am gluing the veneer to the hand rails but one slight problem. I am using P V A and it does not like the cold so its glue the item then straight indoors to allow the glue to cure. Second problem the gas bottle is running out cold garage until I can get a replacement.

Stan. Should have ordered a new bottle.

Today I have placed the cabin back on the hull. Just a few pictures to show how the model looks still a lot to do. You may notice now using the new building board

Looking very very nice, a credit to the time and hard work you have put into it.
Well done Stan.

HI All sorry for the lack of pictures lately. At the moment still struggling to find a way to attach the other cabin side using magnets.

Stan.

at the moment but later.

Backerther · « **Reply #364 on:** January 23, 2021, 02:34:08 pm »

Hi Stan;
I am preferably using a roller catch when attaching a cabin to the deck.
Take this 1m semi-scale cabin cruiser for instance.
In the picture,two roller catches are seen on both sides.Actually one more is at the stern.
Three points roller catches are holding the cabin securely,even on the windy and rough surface
of the lake in winter seen below.

The bow went into the water frequently and the wave struck the bow fiercely and repeatedly
as she was sailing fast...

She's coming along fab Stan!

Update from a cold garage just in the process of fitting the last pieces of teak veneer on the capping rails. Pictures to follow later this week.

Stan.

Stan · « **Reply #367 on:** January 27, 2021, 09:50:29 pm »

First picture showing the amount of clips needs to carry out the fitting of the teak veneer to capping rails this has be done 4 times per rail. Last pictures are shots of the hull and super structure the hull is ready for the sanding sealer to be applied to the wood work.

Stan.

Stan · « **Reply #368 on:** January 28, 2021, 06:29:46 pm »

Well all the veneer work is now complete next step some paint work to be done then full speed ahead on the hull paint work .

Stan.

I sorry for no pictures lately not much to show at the moment possibly later this week.

Stan.

Stan · « **Reply #370 on:** February 02, 2021, 04:33:30 pm »

Today we were greeted with more snow and fog so no work in the garage. The continued build was done indoors jus three pictures showing the fitting of planks to hull decks. Bending straight planks around a curve is a task in itself and trying to use P V A in cold weather is difficult with this in mind I am using deluxe Canopy glue to stick the planks to the ply base.

Stan. This morning made you feel like.

when indoors.

Hi Stan;
I'm so sorry about your working conditions by which you seem to have been obliged to build the boat.

The working originally should have been more enjoyable and done in good circumstances backed up
with the weather conditions.
It is rather warm here in Tokyo where it is normally 0 through 4 degrees C outdoors at the coldest.
Hoping you the best result of the boat regardless of the weather conditions.!!

Stan · « **Reply #372 on:** February 03, 2021, 09:43:56 am »

Hi Backerther thank for your comments. The uk weather at times does stop my building in the garage. I can do small items in the house during bad weather.
Over the years despite the weather my garage has been the home of my model building

Stan

Stan · « **Reply #373 on:** February 03, 2021, 10:17:15 pm »

Planking the deck sections is not such a simple operation I decided not to use the glue in the last picture back to P V A glue. The problem is spacing the planks when going round the curve section.

Stan.

Stan · « **Reply #374 on:** February 04, 2021, 08:32:33 pm »

HI Guys due to other events and the cold weather this build will be on hold until the end of the month. But I will be back

Stan.
