Bob,
It's been a great pleasure reviewing your build log of the Bluenose by Model Shipways. I am trying to build it myself. I do not have your skill level but I'm trying to increase my skills I have a problem and I wasn't sure where to post it. I am trying to follow Bob Hunt's practicum and now I'm trying to install the Jumbo Boom Crutch and Hoisting Machinery Support. In it he says "There are two end pieces, a large gear and a small gear and two bearings.The bearings were not attached to my assembly nor were one of the two end pieces." In my kit both end pieces are attached along with the small gear. If I have to cut off one of the end pieces, drill a hole to reattach it after I insert the large gear it will be too narrow to attach to the posts that have been glued to the laser cut top part. I emailed Tom at Model-Expo and he said that tahe is the way the part comes. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Ralph
