Bottom of the hull of the Orel " hacked off" - see I do know technical words.

No I was trained correctly by "Bodgit & Quickly" ---  talking about scarper that is what I shall do at the club meeting when they see the 2 models I am bringing  -- "Steam Punk Banker"  and the  "Club Committee Meeting"

bend and mend yourself Haddock.
Made some coal sacks they are OK on mast but too large on ship so made a lot more smaller ones. The large ones are painted brown on the first photo.

My heart has just sunk, I am dreading the meeting.

Don't know why, YOU ARE THE STAR OF THE SHOW.

Thank you Kevin for the comments -- but as you know I am just trying to catch up with you lot.
Just returned yesterday from 5 days in London and have spent 2 full  days in Greenwich Maritime Museum ( not as an old exhibit before you ask) have found some good information about colliers and will incorporate this into the next collier model.

[MSea]

The main decks of the "Orel" painted and some individual planks picked out in different colours. Then some of the bits and bobs on the deck painted in grey. 

[MSea]

Top deck and other bits added to the main deck.

Hi Msea,
A very nice themed display of two models in a real event setting.
I'm sure the finished article will be very appealing.
Cheers,
Bigkev

The 4 accommodation blocks on the main deck now in place. 
Have done a dry fit with the next 2 decks above and found the ships sides are well splayed out -- so will have to use gentle persuasion to bring them into shape - listen for the crack, you should be able to hear it as far as Brid.
