Yesterday, I got the drawing board out for the first times in ages. I was a bit out of practice, but expect I will soon get the hang of it again, this is how I get a perfect sheer line on the hull. A thin strip of 1/16th wood pinned to the drawing with small brass pins. The sheer line was ruled over the top of it.

I am well aware that there is very little interest in this type of ship, but it is mainly for my own amusement these days.

I don’t have much energy these days, but have managed to make a bit more progress.

Nearly finished now, but once again, a bit of a damp squib.

The profile is complete, but I have printed them at angles to get round people taking them and using them in their own publications. It is rather better than a watermark because it introduces lens distortion, as well as the fact that I have not disclosed the name yet.

It is the Australian pilot boat Matthew Flinders.

I really thought there might be a flicker of interest in the Australian pilot boat above, but I guess not – I give up!”
