| I have decided to separate these two builds as I feel one will detract from the other and so will post pics of each build in their own respective slots. Now, the Eigg is a small ship of around 80 feet long and can carry around 5 - 6 cars max a time. she is normal propulsion eg, twin screw with no bow thruster.........easy peasy, and operates on the Oban - Lismore run. Today I spent time ripping up the car deck as on looking hard at it, it was twisted upwards at the aft end. I have put some inserts in to raise a new deck at that corner and will lay a new deck shortly. However, the main alteration is at the aft end......the Eigg has a flat transom whereas the little hull I picked up had a rounded one.......so am gluing in some fillets and making a new stern glued onto the old one.....should take some of tomorrow before I can start sanding it down. I then have the problem of the wrong shaped bulwarks, but this shouldn't be too much of a problem once the stern has been sorted out. ![MV EIGG 00312](https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/15/04/81/87/00312.jpg) ![MV EIGG 00212](https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/15/04/81/87/00212.jpg) ![MV EIGG 00112](https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/15/04/81/87/00112.jpg) |

| Well! I haven't found a pretty blonde yet, but will keep looking, lol so mind back onto the real job,.................. and today was a day with the filler........first the hull sides to fair them in where I had changed the shape of the hull at the stern, and then fabricating a strange skeg shape to the hull, as shown in a picture of her sister ship Raasay. Note also the strange "Y" shaped prop shaft supports that will have to be fabricated and soldered up at some stage...........happy days again, lolModify message ![MV EIGG Raasay10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f58/15/04/81/87/raasay10.jpg) ![MV EIGG Rear_s10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f58/15/04/81/87/rear_s10.jpg) ![MV EIGG Rear_s11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f58/15/04/81/87/rear_s11.jpg) ![MV EIGG Rear_s12](https://i.servimg.com/u/f58/15/04/81/87/rear_s12.jpg) ![MV EIGG Rear_s13](https://i.servimg.com/u/f58/15/04/81/87/rear_s13.jpg) |

| cheers matey..this is a bit of a hotch potch and I think I might have been quicker building a hull from scratch, but I suppose it's the "thrill" of the change, especially when my daughter found it on a car boot sale, lol.......
