Well the new yr is fineally here
so its a first update of 2021
well ive given the front funnell a bit of thought an here its just laid on to see if it looks right an yes it does but there is one small problem i hav'nt fitted two air intakes for the smoke unit as this S/S is a very tight fit which is how it should be on the hull.So ive got to make a decision where the air intakes will be but at the moment im indescive so i think i'll leave it for a while still an have a better look on the inside to see if thats any help anyway a couple of shots here with the front funnell on an the fore mast on to see what i got so far IMG_5909.JPG

ANYWAY back to that rear big funnell as its stands over 8 inches tall an a plan pic of it an there is so much that has got to be fitted onto it as its got a small yardarm i think its called right through this funnel an it will have two red 2mm anti collishion lights fitted onto it an the platform an all the laddders just got to hope i have enough an they are long enough an ive also been building in the air downtakes to the big cooling fan an so far as ive treid running the fans an there is a good downdraugh of air so it works great so far so good but now i'll put on the pics of my efforts so far
but first a plan pic of whats what IMG_5879.JPG
