QE2 Story Jigsaw "Evening at Sea" by Peter Mugridge

[Grill Britannia]

That would be really awesome to see.

I'm up for that!!

May be a good idea , bt doubt it would be possible without detracting from the main event (shame it isn't over 2 days) , however I'm still willing to bring it through for somebody to do at their leisure , if not , maybe just maybe after Christmas  I'll have a go

Gav is already bringing "Pride of the Clyde", and one jigsaw is probably enough...

If you're willing to have a go after Christmas -- give it a go! It's a fine jigsaw, and you will enjoy it... over many months... there is no hurry if you can spare the table!

So:   here it begins 12 months behind schedule, hope this brings a wee smile to Isabelle      bit blurred sorry (not a good start)

All the best, Pete, for a great refit for our QE2 (jigsaw).  I am sure that Jim is ready to assist as needed !   

[Isabelle Prondzynski]

Great to see that, Pete! And I note with admiration that you have chosen the right colour of plant to go with it .

[pete cain]

The last  till after Christmas, have decided to do this as 3 different coloured mini jig saws , it might or not workout , it's packed away again till new year

Hi Pete -

Thanks very much for the update on the QE2 refit.  Has Jim been helping out in supervising the refit ?  I know that he checked in with me on when the refit of QE2 (Liverpool Calling) was to start as he was going to have to split his time between Cain International Shipyard and Ingram Shipbuilding.  But I do know that the lad is up to the task !

House suddenly empty, bad day, rain wind cold--  so why not start with the easy bit, the rest won't be
  Shipyard mascot not to be seen anywhere June,  he's seen & heard all the mutterings before, Will let him off for the 12 days  of Christmas then it's back to work..........

[Isabelle Prondzynski]

Looking excellent, Pete! It must be tempting to leave it like that and just feast your eyes on the beautiful ship...

The shipyard mascot is quite right to take the twelve days of Christmas off and renew his energy in time for the more taxing part of the jigsaw .

[Pete Hamill]

I always start with the outside edges first - at least that way I discover the thing won't fit the table before I've gone too far!
Good luck with the rest!

Good lick with the rest!

With any jigsaw I, too, always start with the edges - not just for size reasons ( always measure the table first if not sure! ) but it gives a good context for the placement of the rest of the puzzle.

[June Ingram]

Looking good, Pete ! And I am sure that the Ship's Mascot is resting up and saving his energy for the upcoming part of the refit ! 

[pete cain]

Thanks all, note to 2 Peters, I always have started with the outside also, for the same reasons, I just thought that because this jig saw seems to have different colour zones I'd try & do it as 3 or4 smaller ones & slide them togethr later on & do the surround at the end. 
    Well that's the theory let's see it work out

[Pete Hamill]

Professional jigsaw builder indeed!
