The Real Vessel.

St Clairs HULL.

Decking and Painting.

The superstructure

wheelhouse.

Sailing at Ellsmere port in August 2002.

As you can see from the photo I have cut the stern out /doors/ hatch/ decked and railed and preparing for paint. As you can see the hull is much wider and shorter than the real one but this model will only be based on the water guardian. I shall be  naming the model St Clair Guardian after my late father. The hull was built the same way as Corsair in two halves and joined together.

I have checker plated the deck and started above handrails. Just to finish rails and paint for the Hull. Have prepared hull for paint and decked ready for superstucture

Made out of 4mm ply and made it in one piece primed and ready for fitting out. A good idea when cutting out windows why not line the inside with strips of 4mm plaster card it gives a nice ridge to the window. I have detailed inside the rear section before placing roof with computers and cupboards and a figure/lights. The life rafts was made from a broom handle and detailed with strips of cut 4 mm plaster card. life ring's was old Curtain rings. 

Started to fit out wheelhouse most of the front of wheelhouse I have guest the detail as the photo has a hidden side.
