Hi All.

Just a small update. As we have just moved house.
I hope to start finishing Jeanie in the New Year.
2 photo's from Paddler Day last month, one showing the stiff breeze we had.
but a very good day.

I have to congratulate you on an exceptional build.

Your thoughtful and attention to detail is nothing less that inspirational!

Thank you for sharing.

Kind regards, ... Barry Manclark, Australia

Thanks Barry, I.mm one who likes to have a bit of detail on my boats.
Now I have retired and have more time as most of the work is done in the winter.

 Hi All.
   I've now made a start on Jeanie after our house move.
   I tried turning lifebelts in wood and plastic but with not very good results.
   So I bought some from Marks model bits, Just the right size and they look very good.

Hi Prentice
You know the old saying. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. this is true for your boat, being new to this forum, I have just caught up with your build and as I was reading through from page 1 I could not wait to get to the next post to see what treasures you had in store for us.  Well done,  Love it

  Hi All.

  Thanks John.

  Next photo is of Landing gangways/ramps, It's the small things that make it look more complete. Also you may notice that the oil drums have been lashed down... Not so easy to see. Its a bit of oily rope.........

Looking real good.

Excellent model - I would make one comment.   Funnels.   Have you by any chance taken the dimensions from the pre-war drawing?  Jeanies post war funnels were the same dimensions as Waverley!   One or two folks have been caught out by this.

[Allan T Condie]

Pre-war see the difference
