Deck details painted & grab lines all strung - theoretically it should have a red stripe under the bump strip, but I'm not sure it needs it ...

This boat is just stunning, Jonny. The level of detail is commented often but also the pure craftsmanship sets this bout out from the crowd.
I've got one complaint though; the "RNLB TYNE CLASS" sticker (?) does not make the cut. :dry: Not sure why but it looks wrong somehow.
The rest; perfect :y:

I was really careful with that transfer, both with the size and position, and even researched & downloaded the correct DIN font - but somehow it just looks like an afterthought spewed from a cheap labelmaker :whistle:

TBH it seems unlikely at the moment - hobby funds are very limited ATM & TBH I'd rather the money it would cost to complete the electrics on supporting the bits I enjoy more - building/painting rather than running.

Replaced the numbers & name plates - the inital attempt with 8mm raised letters (Slaters) proved to be too big for the sides of the cabin :whistle: so I fitted them on the stand instead (one LHS, one on the front) - 5mm letters proved to be a better fit, but are tricky to paint ...
