Coming along nicely Beefy, I was surprise to see how much hull is under the water line.

Yes it is quite a chunk under the waterline this is why I will not be putting it in a water base i would be missing half the ship

 

Anyway small up date glazing done on the main housing and all the small bits fitted to the deck now

Was in Nanaimo Weds night looking at the Snowbirds show which they had over the harbour and saw these tugs wondering if it is the same thing under the water line.

Thanks very much gentlemen @Courageous @Terry1954

 

Fresh off the blocks yes this build is coming to an end and I have other stuff I need to finish

 

Those boxes may be small but they are not empty far from it you just wanted a look inside didn't you Stuart
