Your wish is my command. It's really nice to do this Blog, as I'm on a steep learning curve, and enjoying every minute of it. I'd be hard pressed without you all.
Latest news ..........
I've nearly completed the rigging. It came out quite well in the end. What I did was to tie the centre of the thread and glue it in position. I then tied each side and glued that. When it was dry, I cut the trailing edges flush with the uprights and dyed it in black wood stain. Thanks to Barry for this one.
The fumes from all this made me quite sick and I had to give up for the day.
Today I made the life boat fittings from thin plywood and glued them in place. The edges were painted white and the wood left for varnishing. I've painted the oars and they are drying off at the moment.
I have also redesigned the main cabin in new plastic strip to give it a clean edge all round. The insides of the window frames were painted black but I don't like it at all. I'll have to think that one out again.
I might fit some window frames before I glaze it. I'm looking for very small angle plastic strip to cut out.
Jim, I've also changed the giant toilet rolls into oil drums, Thanks for pointing that out.
Here are the latest pictures.
