So I recently obtained a partially built 1/16th Model Slipway Tamar lifeboat.
This is my first build of a vessel this big having previously built an Aero-naut Mowe 2.
It wont be a blow by blow account but I shall try to put fairly regular updates on my progress.
If anyone can help with the correct size of lettering for the transom name and where I can obtain wheelhouse name plates from I would be very grateful.

Work on the Y-boat continues, the Speedline Models Y boat is much better looking in my opinion so if they do become available again I may well "upgrade" to one of those.
Work on the cabin continues, getting the centre window in the right place took a lot of measuring lets hope it is right when the two front side windows are fitted.!
