Bridge

Built the canopy around the wheel house, it was a little bit fiddley and brought back some math and drawing skills I haven't used for a wee while 👍

Hull

Managed to get a little time to myself and have managed to make a start on the hull ,strips are 20mm and 10mm -1.6mm plywood strips ,there's a few wee gaps but as the old shipyard saying goes "putty and paint makes a job what it ain't"

Progress

Building has come to a temporary halt as my old dad sadly passed away just short of his 90th birthday ,much running about dealing with everything .

Filler

After chasing my tail for the last wee while dealing with lawyers for my dads will ,managed to do a bit to HMS Bustler family sized tin of filler applied to the hull will leave for a couple of days to dry then out with the sander .
