| More progress and photos.
The stern grating is removeable to allow access to the rudder head.
Both Companion Ways are also removeable. Under the forward one, the larger, I've cut three holes to take switches for the lights, 12v power, and receiver Battery,
The bench is called the Commisioneers Bench and looking aft behind the Saloon.
Next, is to see if I can win anything at the Seniors Captains Day at golf.
Don't feel optomistic as my golf prowess is not that good!!!!! |

So how did it go with the warped saloon sides Ken?
The rest of the model is absolutely beautiful so I hope you can sort out the damaged areas OK.

| I brought the model indoors, from the back of the garage. let it acclimatise to the drier, warmer air, and the warping is starting to pull back into shape.
It occured on both sides of the saloon, where the sliding doors are. The port side is almost back into shape and the starbord side is looking a lot better. | |

| Well that is certainly a relief. I just hope you are able to persuade the relevent authorities how important it is going to be to keep this one indoors!!!

| | All Round Modeller | Have just read the whole thread through from the Beginning, I can only agree with the other comments on here,
Ken, you have done that model proud, a real pleasure to look at and I would certainly be proud of her. The attention to detail and that decking is superb.
I am sure she will look even better on the water when the better weather comes. You will certainly have to post some pics up of her in action.
Regards......Mark.

| Absolutely beautiful Ken. I have never seen one of these on the water so I am looking forward to her trials.
