Can’t wait to see them thrashing about in the water Bob ,all those nuts and bolts will help with the ballast won’t they !! good job you’ve got those ball races on the shafts must be getting heavy now!!

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

I`m wondering how I`ll get in all those crook `n` nannies when it comes painting time?

Still got the floats to make yet…….all 48 of `em!

[DuckyParticipant @ducky]

Would’nt it be better to spray them Bob, or even dip them  and then whizz off the excess into a big tin and then there would be no clogging.

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

I think spraying is a good idea.

Hi Bob,

I agree with Ducky, the wheel is really looking the business now, can’t wait to see the floats on them.

Again I’m with Ducky – go with the dip, can see it being a nightmare spraying with the floats on, unless you dismantle it first.

If you do go with the dip, make sure your wearing your best suit and standing in the middle of the living room !

Cheers – Ken

Hello Ken,

The floats are on now…………..see latest picture………and in fact they`re already on the ship………just to see how they look………It`s a pity Brunel didn`t make that strong!

I`ll not be glueing them in yet……..that`s a bit too drastic!

Spraying is the way to go…………Dunkin` `em seems a little risky to me!

I must say, I am really  enjoying building this model and will feel quite lost when it`s finished

Hi Bob,

No need to feel lost when you’ve completed this one – just use it as a practice run for building a bigger one !

Just noticed the new picture – does look good – did notice however you never offered the cakes around ! 

[DuckyParticipant @ducky]

  I’ll have to get round to your house before all that cake gets eaten,and save you from yourself Bob

I don’t know about getting the boat downstairs,it will be a problem getting YOU down stairs if you keep eating cakes that size

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Hello Boys

You are supposed to be admiring the paddlewheels…….not cake boxes!

Now working on the five chimneys……(sounds like a cake restaurant)…….and will make das Gross Ostern look the biz!
