@AlessandroSPQR. Hi Alessandro, and always good to hear from you. I think the answer to that question is time factor, and the fact that I have been at it for a long time, as in about SIXTY YEARS. A bit like the fact one improves with age rather like a fine wine. I think it has a lot to do with practise does make perfect, and each boat tends to be a little better than the last one. It is a never ending learning curve, and a figment of my imagination no plans required. Mind the end result has turned out rather well and I am happy with the end result. Regards, Gary.

Hi Gary, it’s nice to see you back and contributing again to our hobby.
Your vessel and workmanship is wonderful. I marvel at your dedication!

Hi Gary, I hope to see this magnificent ship model finished as soon as possible, for your well-deserved satisfaction.
But I have a question: how do you manage to create such clean, perfect boats? They are truly exceptional pieces of work.

I have finally managed to make a little progress, on the building of my open launch. Which I am pleased to say is almost complete at long last, This is my first post this year due to numerous problems along the way, old age certainly has a lot to answer for. I just need to sort out the front deck, and build some sort of structure around the gas canister valve which is a bit higher than the front deck. I hope to make something that gives easy access to the gas valve. I am hoping to have this completed before the end of this year, and have for some strange reason a sudden urge to see it perform on the water.
A question for you, can you recommend someone, a company or what ever, that does vinyl good quality stickers in the UK. So as I can give her a name. A few photos (note the Windemere steam kettle, no expense spared.) regards Gary.
