Hi Fraser
I think I might have everything you need
Wooden steam drifter Formidable built 1917. 88' oa. x 19' beam
Is this what your thinking
Plans, magazine articles. and the excellent "From tree to Sea" by Ted Frost illustrated book of his building Formidable
Let me know what you think

I can hear the waves and smell the seaweed.
A nice thought

Could it be that you have an obsession with seagulls?

Feel no shame . One thing I have learnt is that modelling is for enjoyment not for how others may perceive us 🤫

It's been a while, poor health and the shakes. I've long had a problem with my left hand, half a cup of coffee takes about 10 seconds to re-appear on the floor. My right hand is now starting to go the same way....... Looking for solutions I've tried to justify Zebras on a Cornish cliff 🙈. Tried to train them so that my hands meet in the middle .
Sulked, thrown my toys out of the pram etc etc.
Finally decided I'd just do the best I can and get on with it, accepting the work isn't to the standard I would like
Got my Sea Thrift thanks to @beefy66
Added thole pins and forward thwart plus weathering
Figures........cant mask them.
Happy with clothes, flesh tones still to do. I think I'll try oils
Thought perhaps a telescope and tripod would add to the scene
Thanks for stopping by
