Hi One & All
I have now finished the planking, so moving on I have had a look at a stem winch, looking at it I feel the the time for me to make one that looks right it would be cheaper to buy one, I have found one on Amazon, it is a Langley Models Marine Steam Winch at a cost of £19.21 at a scale of OO.

Hi One & All
Now that things are sort of back to normal, I took a break from planking, and made the forward companionway and the rudder.
Looking at the photos I now think I need to get a new camera.
Just a quick note if any one is thinking of going to the Harry Potter world, I think it is worth every Penney.

Doogle I use 2x.05mm timber from Cornwell Models, and .05mm thread for the clinkering, as for the puffer it is semi scratch build, other than the hull it is a case of what I had to hand at the time, I will be getting most of the fittings from Marks Model Bits

Hi One & All
Back in 1997 I purchased two vacform hull for a 1/72 Clyde Puffer along with the drawings from Sarik (drawing MM1410), as we have been having some bad weather of late and due to their size they started to look like a good boat to start building in the house. (just to keep warm), over the last few weeks I have joined the two half’s of the hull, fitted the motor and shaft, alone with the deck, I have made a mistake when it comes to fixing the rudder, I should have made some form of fixing that went into the hull, so that the rudder had some were to fasten to, (will sort that out later on in the build) also I need to make some form of support for the shaft as I think it will in time work its way lose, moving on, the stern deck has been started and over half has now been planked.

Nice progress there Fred. With regards to the planking, did the wood come with the boat and if not, may I ask what you use. I recently acquired an Osprey fishing boat from a gentleman whose health does not permit him to finish what he started. The hull and wheelhouse are all made but no decking. Still clearing space with other projects before I start, but looking for advice on the decking. 😊
