Working on replacing the masts with brass bar. The ships boat has been painted and dry brushed to bring out the planks, and the searchlight has been hollowed out and painted silver with a coat of glass glue to be added to  make it look 3D.
A CHALLENGE FOR KEVIN -- you know what the model is (its a trawler if you have not figured it out ) but what parts will the brass sections in the last photo  make ??????
Next job is to add 2 sections of chain to the mast for the rigging and drill holes in the deck for the small tube to pass the rigging through.

Hi Msea,
Trawlers are not on my list of familiarity, but could the parts form the basis of the sidewinder winch for the net?
Suppose I'm way off, but I can live with it..............
Cheers,
Bigkev

PS. Nice work that man!
I hope my next is always better

Well done that man just about 10 out of 10.
With the mast and the boom for hauling in the nets been replaced with brass rod. I thought (its that word again) the join for the mast and boom would be a weak point if left in plastic. So have replaced them with brass, the bent bar is incorrect because I picked up the WRONG bar on the desk, it is a thinner section than the one in the photo.

Hi Msea,
I knew you had put that in to fool me (Actually I didn't)
Glad my guess was on target, at least I have SOME appreciation of trawlers and how they operated.
Looking forward to seeing the finished article.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

Hi Msea, ( or MFM)
Nice looking trawler, are you going to hand paint the union flag on what I think is the Red Duster?
You seem to have a few projects going on, don't you?
Cheers,
Bigkev

Yes and Yes -- hand painting the flag and yes lots of projects on the go at the same time, I seem to get fed up working on the same project over time, I like to chop and change and come back fresh.

No, No, No,

If I painted it, it wouldn't be upside down, it would be back to front as well.................!

Nice work.......... are those your and the other half's initials on the funnel, or your dad's???

Yes mine and Joyce, decided to make the ship out of the box - not one of my dads ships, it would have been to long a job to change it, so decided to just get this model finished.
