Well Andy I am not into boats so have not, aplogies, tuned into your project but did following seeing the following of your project.

Quite incredible a really great model & great patience to go with all of this.

Like the "distressed" (as known in antiques) look that you have given the model really great & will now be follow to the launching.

Amazing weathering Andy,that plank cutter looks like it will pay for itself in no time! Looking forward to the next update!

Thanks Trey. It was a shame I didn't buy one earlier but I didn't know that you could get one until I looked through their catalogue.

Cheers
