It is indeed a labour of love. I hope to finish it someday.

Some work is being done with the flat form for the outer island catwalk being faired into the hull.

I noted the program reminded me that I had not activated this topic for at least 120 days.

The unpainted parts are new in including the plastic railing made from garden mesh.

Life boat canisters are attached at one station only. I need 64 (x3) units. The Bonnie sits sideways to work on the motor boat bays. The crane has also been given a bit of time.

Some inside details started with a ladder and railing to the upper deck.

Majority of the crane is done.

The crane was mainly used to transfer cargo and fish planes out of the water.

I felt guilty walking by the Bonnie everytime I go to the workshop. These are smoke generators. The photo shows I need to do touch up painting in this area.

Still a amazing project Lou.
