Live steam "Fusilier", the 1888 MacBrayne paddle steamer.

My last post seems to have messed up page 2- all I get is a blank screen!

It looks like something went wrong with generating a thumbnail for the attached image.  I've manually deleted the image, and now things are displaying again - you'll need to re-attach the image (fingers crossed it doesn't break again!)

Tried again, and looks like I've messed up the works again.
I hate computers-give me something you can fix with a hammer or a spanner!.
For some reason it seems that particular jpeg image in my photo files is corrupted somehow; every other picture I have posted has been fine.

Page 2 is still a blank for me- I could try deleting the offending post, if only I could see it!.

  ..found I can view pages 3 and 2, via copying PD's & opening in a Google view window, however the current page 1 now is the culpriate that will not open

I had posted on two later renamed Fusilier ....these messages and attachments are on the page I cannot view....they were all OK & functional on completion of my postings

Looks like we can forget page two.
Anyway, a bit more progress- working my way clockwise round the decks. The mast and funnel are just loosely in place, to keep the inspiration going!

A really nice boat, neat buld!

Got all the deck saloon walls done, and got a bit bored, so today I had a go at the figurehead.
Mr. Fusilier will eventually need fairing in to the bow with some waves, a fiddly bit of filler I suppose!

Magnificent carving at such a small scale! I wish I had that talent!!

Promenade deck to follow!

Back end more or less finished- the middle section has all the details.
Lifeboats, bridge, vents, plus seven flights of steps- two to each paddle box.
Not a quick build..
