My first cargo ship

ACW that looks great, re-furbs are always difficult, you dont know what lies beneath the layers of paint.

Great job, wait till next time

My first cargo ship

I bought this boat as a bit of a wreck on ebay,I stripped It down to the bare hull,and renewed the decking and superstructure,except for the bridge which Is metal.I know Its not prefect but It Is my first attempt at a complete restoration. It has working lights In all the cabins, bridge, paint store, bosuns store etc ,I made most of the fittings myself except for the vents,lifeboats and the funnel. I have used 2x 6V batteries, one for the lighting and the other to power the motor. I am taking her to the Swiss Cottage M.B.C. Shoreham on Thursday for the maiden voyage. If all goes well I will probably sell her, and start a new project.
