I suspect there are other reasons Bill.
Should you both be reinstated I might reconsider but much has happened since so I cannot do a catch-up.
Some pictures in random order

My thoughts too
Chucking out the baby with the bath water.
From my recent experience there is not enough traffic to need SIX moderators but these two are the shop front and I feel you have made a poor decision.

Thanks Robert
Never sell yourself short.
If you can use a rule a pencil and one of these you can make almost anything.

But things just go off in any direction.
Mercantic hatches
I’ve made them in separate parts to aid painting
First left over planking used for the coverings glued to 1.5mm ply.
Then treated with osmo oil stains for a weathered timber look.
Later to be covered in osmo Matt oil

Thank you Michael
As I said of yours the real models look better than the pictures can show.
Even then it’s hard to take in your level of detail as the longer you look the more you see
I’m slowly returning to a normal colour having gone green with envy 🏆

Today I’ve cut out for the bow fairleads.
I’ve removed the centre frame ribs in the well deck and replaced with 5 ribs per side.
I’ve just fitted the port side rubbbng strakes.
Fitted an upstanding around the aft access hole.
The day is young but time for dinner 🍽

Struggling for time but I’ve fitted the bilge keels
Marked the waterline
Engaged now in cutting the washports.
I’d like to get the anti foul coat on this weekend.
Stern gunwale glued on just now, final sanding to shape when the glue sets

Last night I glass coated the port half of the hull. This morning I’ve sanded it to satisfaction with no visible blemishes needing filler.
Next the Starboard.
Picture one is the start of sanding again with 120 grit

Continued
Faced with a choice of breaking out every frame rib to replace them all or shaping them and accepting their thickness, I decided on the latter.
Just three more to do at the stern where I’m also in the process of making the gunwale.
Intermediate bulwark ribs will now be fitted.

Bow ribs and gunwale now complete and other bits.
Hull sanded ready for glass coat, no significant defects that won’t be filled with next coat of resin.

Last night I started on the hatches and it was going so well today that I’ve delayed sanding whilst good headway is being made.
I made and fitted the coamings trial fitted the rudder and made an oversize bow gunwale to trim later.
Continuing on with the hatches

Finally the rain stopped and a couple of hours with 120 grit sorted out the planking. A lead pencil is used to indicated the highs and lows as sanding progressed.
Sealed the wood with a coat of resin before another sanding and minor filling.
Then a glass coat will be added another day.

Not many pictures but I will add more later.
Hull is almost closed and the last piece will be a block of balsa for final shape before sanding the entire hull ready for grp overcoat.

More planks and the bow bulwark fitted.
Once the bulwark is set the frame ribs are knocked out to be replaced with scale ribs in the correct places as marked in pencil.

Both sides now at the same stage.
Rather than reshape the keel to suit the bottom skins I’ve dammed the area with masking tape to fill out with 15 minute resin, then shaped.
Lead shot installed in the bow also.
Edit
Since England beat Germany I fitted another plank 🍻😜
