Thanks Karl, That's clear ;) I'll get some photo printer paper. What size are your tiles? From your dairy I gather that you painted them after fitting?

Thanks lads! As promised, some more action: Getting a curve on the gallery side panels. It wasn't exact, but close enough to need only minimal adjustment on final fitting.  Fitting the gallery side panels:  I got cracking with planking the bow deck while the gallery side panels were curing. I didn't have a non-running marker, so I used a pencil to mark the edges of the planks

Top mouldings added to the gallery sides:  The middle starboard wale pinned:  Bottom view of the Gallery sides and the rear of the middle wales. There is a slight gap which I'll be filling with wood filler:  The planks on the bow sanded down. I cut the opening of the dummy bowsprit dowel with a knife before sanding it, on the picture you can see that it was cut back too much. The middle 2 planks have since been replaced and the hole shaped properly

Looks nice mate, Before Mr T says it... don't forget the extra hole in the bow.  “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

lol, thanks Jase! I was under the impression that one had to wait until the trim strips have been fitted to the stem? I'll get the cordless charging up!
