Welcome As you have probably already deduced, it was fun to go searching.

The model can be built with a full hull, or as a partially or fully loaded waterline version. I will build the full hull version. Here are the frames, and the hoppers.

Time for a bit more colour! The main deck, and starting with the hull plating from the stern. This is a fairly challenging hull shape to build.

Massive project Marco! I recently visited a modeler living nearby my place who has built an impressive collection of ships over the years and nothing but respect for you Paper Skippers!

The propellers and rudders. Again, challenging.

Smoothly attaching curved and angled surfaces to other curved and angled surfaces can be 'a bit of an event' no matter the medium!
Is nice to see that kit designer included the sacrificial anodes.

All in all this was one of the more challenging hulls to build - but it's well designed and the parts fit.
On to the superstructure - this is more straightforward.
