Jolly Hockey Sticks

Well some would call it the slipway skid, others the hockey stick and still others the ski.  Whatever it's name I have fitted it to the hull.  It took a fair amount of filler to blend in and I reckon that priming the hull will show that more blending is needed.  For now though, I think it looks good.
The support is made up of several diameter styrene tubes, starting at 3.2mm which is glued through the hull, out to 7.9mm.

The crew figures for the Trent are getting there too.  Detailed painting is underway as below.
Next on the to do list is the Transom door.  I was going to make the Y boat compartment first but decided the door should be made first.  See how I'm getting on next time.
