I'm BACK!

Well, it looks like winter is finally over.  We celebrated by going for a few days of spring skiing last weekend but as of yesterday, there is no snow left.  That means I'm about to start work on the ship again.

I have to say, it came through winter pretty good.  I noticed last night that the stain had weathered a bit so I may need to put a coat sometime this summer but I'll likely wait till I'm all finished.  Noticed also on one side of the ship that the ground settled a little and I have a few support points to adjust (re-shim).

So over next few weeks, I'll be ordering some of the accessories (rope ladder, cargo net, ship's wheel, etc...) and finsihing the design of the crow's nest, which I'll get my neighbour the master welder, to make. 

So no new pics today but I wanted to do a quick post to say that the project is still alive and I am looking forward to finishing it soon.

Will update soon....
