Severn Beginnings

Of course I knew that I'd been building my Severn along side my Tamar for sometime - I just hadn't realised just how long the builds had been going together until I checked the photo dates!  I started building the wheelhouse in September 2015!!

Here's a few photos to show the main wheel house components;

 One thing that concerned me from the start was making sure I could paint all of the various recesses properly.  With everything assembled I though the paint might not cover inside them properly.  So, I masked up the cabin floor and painted the recess bases orange as well we the recess/vent hosuing sub assemblies.

 These are most of main cabin sub-assemblies before I started modifying them.  That's for another post!

I've got a long way beyond this and so am along way behind with this blog.  Next time, I'll look at some of the mods I made to the wheelhouse interior and some of parts I scratch built.
