A bit more done just a few more hours prep then ready for sealer

Yeah it's getting there slow and steady wins the race lol

Thanks for the photo, looks like you have a nice model there, a bit of TLC should have it looking good once more.

Paul.

More progress 😎

Thanks for the update, I'll watch out for your pics.

Paul.

Yeah il give him a call your boat is taking shape looking great il add more pics of mine soon

Best to give Mike a call to confirm paint colours, as mentioned previously my project is just a skeleton at the moment.
See photo's attached of my build progress, note the brackets and fixing blocks screwed to the baseboard to hold the keel perfectly straight during construction.
Nobody wants a banana shaped boat, it would just go round in circles LOL.!!

Paul.

What colours is that you've used Paul?

HI Paul Yeah I spoke to Mike and got a few parts from him verry nice chap and as you say verry knowledgeable

I bought the 46" wooden kit a couple of years ago, from Vintage Model Works, got as far as building the hull ( Keel and bulkheads ) skeleton only no ply cladding yet.
Had to shelve the project due to other commitments, but hope to get back to the build soon.
MIke at Vintage Model Works was very knowledgable about the historic Keil craft kit and the new kit he now sells is every bit as good as the original.

Photographs of the prototype attached.

Paul.

They make a 46 inch wooden kit of the crash tender which includes a set of white metal fittings and I understand they sell them separately.

Cheers Shaun
