Have had quite a bit on this past few days what with work, going up to Hull to see daughter and grandson, work and stuff around the house and garden to do, however…..

Before going away I gave the outside of the hull another coat of Eze-Kote and the insides a sloshing of resin to seal everything up water tight.

I then set about installing the motor, ESC, rudder servo and water pick up plumbing. All nice and tidy and all working in the correct direction ect..

Today I did a bit more to the deck planking using photos from the interweb as reference and if I’m honest, using bass wood for the planks and mahogany strip for the caulking it looks quite effective after trimming and sanding. The stern planking has a little more to be done before I start up the sides leading to the bow where there will be quite a bit of work to get it right.

Lastly, I’ve added a picture of the Bridlington Tamar class lifeboat from the weekend. Why? Because I’ve managed to get hold of a Model Slipway Tamar kit unstarted and that will be next on the building board…..
