OK the mojo boosting blog begins Dry fitted the deck into the hull to check the fit this will have to be removed for painting before final fitting. It's a great fit, thank gawd, don't want hiccups right at the start  Assembled some of the small "on deck thingies" as these are the bits that have got to painted in a wood finish, the boats will be white. There will be lots of painting bits before fitting  This will not be a fast build by far |

Robbo's done some building, yeah Thanks for looking in chaps I really do appreciate it. Dickster, don't know one end of a boat from the other mate, all I know is it was a floater and not a sinker and it was pretty fast in it's day, nautical terms sir you just jump in and help and that goes for all of you, cheers |
