Greg said he'd be a while now before getting more shots up as he has to fully weld the two hulls he has got together. Once he finishes fully welding the hull section he has together now you'll find that there will be another flurry of activity.
I thought It would give griffo a pretty good idea of the time frame when carrying out a kit boat project
