Thanks lads! 2 rows of stealers added at the stern. Not sure how the rear most part of the keel is finished off. Is it also tiled?  Some more filler pieces added to the bow  And some more tiles added to the hull

Good work with the tiles.
I did tile the stern post but it is completely obscured with the rudder, you already have a copper painted surface there. You may need to repaint the copper after finishing all the tiles as some glue will sneak its way around there, if you decide to tile that area all the glue will be covered in tiles!
Your choice, Steve..
Don't try and bend the tiles around the stern post, do it the same as the keel!!

Hi stefan great job you are doing.I tiled the rear most part of the keel because when I fitted the rudder there was at least a 2mm gap(but every build is a bit different),you can just see the back only at close inspection though .All I did was file the tiles that wear protruding flat then glued a row of tiles down to the waterline didn't take that long.Like farrabass said its up to you.

Thanks Mike & Ian! Almost finished with the Starboard side. All the filler pieces on the bow fitted. Here is a shot of the final row of filler pieces required where the tiles meet the waterline.  All the full tiles at the stern have also been fitted, only the stealer fillers remaining. (The white spot is where a tile had to be removed)  Now to repeat the process on the port side.
