How I built the GLASGOW

Paint added by brush ( I just hate that as I have a wobbly hand)

Despite the high cost of living,
                    it still remains popular.

Well this is as far I've got at the moment. I have shelved the project for the time being.

My reasons for this are that I'm not happy with the deck being up higher than the drawings indicate and the paddle boxes cannot be secured firm enough.

It's also noticeable that the thin plastic hull shows the blobs of epoxy through the external paintwork as shadows, and even after 5 coats of paint (at great expense !!)

Still, it looks good from a distance so she's sitting on a shelf next to Waverley.

Thank you for following my meanderings, it was an interesting 100 hours   
                                       :D

Blimey Ken, you don't hang about do you.

Good work keep it up.
What's next?

Hi Ken,

You kept that very quiet! :)

Looking good so far though! Thanks for the detailed post showing all the little bits that need sorting on the Glasgow - It's still a popular model, so it should certainly help any others that are thinking of building one.

Regards
Eddy

Thank you for the kind comments.   ;D

When I get back to it, I shall pin point the little discrepancies and how I solved them.
