  1. We once discussed this on this forum in the shore leave section. Place the glued plastic pieces in the freezer. The glue would then become crumbly, and then you can separate the pieces again. I don't think you should take it apart if everything just came out of the freezer. I think your plastic is then also very fragile. Never tested this myself. so be careful, I give no guarantee 😉
  2. The only wooden kit I made was from Billings (Vasa). My experience with their plastic parts wasn't also really "Wow" compared to the "real" plastic kits from Revell etc. The plastic parts from Billings are probably cast in short run moulds. The kits from Revell etc. are cast in real large moulds, much more expensive and intended for mass production. You will also not find holes or pins in the Billings parts to neatly glue the parts together. Considering the front of the grating and the front part of your beakhead appear to be the same length (yellow lines). I would glue the sides of the beakhead to the grating. and then make it fit your model. You may have to adjust the grating slightly so that the whole assembly moves in the direction of the arrow.
  3. The two dales Each is made of 3 pieces as a base (bad photo, sorry) A finished dale Making the holes in the same place on both sides was a challenge. While the glue from the dales is drying, work continues on the inside. The support under each dale is fictional, and later virtually invisible. This gives the dale (as support for the deck) a slight curve And looking 5 steps further in the future. Checking the relationship between the sides of the castle, channel, mast and the schrouds of the main mast. Oops, I'm going to get in trouble if i go further this way... Noticed it just in time
