well i desided to do a photo log of this build. i started it last year and got the hull almost complete. its a slow build this one. using more g.r.p and wood parts than other kits i have done. there are also 100's of metal cast parts.
 the only thing i have added to the kit is a brass propeller. it comes with a white metal one which looks fine but is not strong-enough for running it.

i have now made a good start on the super-structure. its made of 3 g.r.p pieces, plastic shaped pipe for the funnel and lots of metal bits. i havent yet put the port-hole glass in yet, that will be last after painting. in these pics it is painted in undercoat.

 as i am very happy with this kit i have put a link to mountfleets website at the bottom of this page. i have no connection to the business, just a happy customer.

note.....this is not a kit for a beginner!! alot of information has to be read off the plans, the instructions are not step-by-step

well here is the next update, i have continued to add pieces to both the deck and the super structure.
  the picture on the right is of the brass propeller i mentioned befor.

next little update, added a few more details.

this is the main trawl winch. its made up of about 100 pieces. mostly metal. it took about 5 hours work to get it built. it is nearly finished now, just some colour to add to it

started painting the top.

well i have put a few more hours into it. i have just about finished the main winch. i have built the fore-mast, this is supplied as a piece of dowl and has to be tapered down to fit the rings that go round it at diffrent hights. a slow job!
 just below the main mast i have started the fore-gallows, these are what would support the warp (cable) when the net is out.
 i have also started the painting. the funnel and cowl vents are now done. so is the top surface of the super-structure. this will stay gray. all the sides will be painted brown. this will be brush painted now.
