Some of the all new deck fittings now installed. Stalled a little bit at this stage but I got a tiger back in the tank and got stuck in. Cost to date, still only £40 or so.  HMS Surprise

Hi there Virtue, dead easy way is to sink her in the bath and if it is wood glue it will fall apart, but the pitfalls are too much water and the risk is there of warping the keel and ribs so take care. Update again guys, got the boat davits installed and supported. Made my own little hinges for them out of spare gunport hinges and chainwale anchors. They do the job ok.  HMS Surprise

Hi Moriarty, This is looking good. I think it`s now past a renovation with the work you have managed on this, it now looks like a new build, only due to your skill and vision. WTG mate. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
