Hi Chris


Yes the kit has a ply fillet just awaiting the prop shaft arrival
which is holding the build.

Been able to do some more work on the Queen as the prop shaft turned up yesterday.
I have given the hull four coats of Mr Smiths penetrating epoxy. Motor, prop shaft, rudder
and water intake fitted. Put her in the bath earlier and ran up the motor which is extremely
powerful.

Now fitted the deck and the fun started. The front and rear bulkheads didn't line up
and when checked it seemed to be the front. As its fixed by the depron jig Im not sure
why that should be. Anyway I cut the front bulkhead out and fixed it to the underside
of the deck. I then fitted the cabin sides which were ok but when fitting the front windscreens
they were shot by a few mm. I packed out the side frames and fitted the screens. The rear cabin
which is removable went together ok but again needed some adjusting. I have made the cabin
roof removable so that I can fit it out at a later date. I have done some rubbing down and
penetrating epoxy painting today and its starting to look more like a boat.
