    And finally, finally, I didn't like the stand much. It was too low and so now we have the dogfight from the ceiling !!

    Some really honest quality wording from you my friend,    I will add to it by saying  - this is The most warm and friendly forum of any I  know of  or use,  all the members either established artisians of the wood or plastic, or new comers to our world, are all first class individuals who make our little world what it is here.

    I knew you were joking John.....no problem   
     
    I knew he was joking Mike    the way I look at it,  if one hesitant new comer posts a log after reading it,  then it's good  
     
    I'll check out those links Nils......thanks a lot

    Hi all, have done and placed the doors in the upper cabin structure. Decided to go with the same color curtains as the lower deck. Still need to do the shutters for each doorway now. Currently the structure is just sitting there.
     


     
    Have also planked (bar the outer edge) the next deck level. Again this is just sitting on top. No glue.
     






     
    Cheers

    I hope it was a joke. I'm sure it was meant to be. Your comments are valid though but not maybe as a reply.

    Another thought! I have some plastic mesh left over from another build. I used it to make the windows in my yacht Mary. It would be just right for your grills.
    Do you have any ?

    Excellent stairs, well done Sir !!
    I think the hinges look fine and I personally would stick with them as they are.

    I am so sorry Boyd that I was so slow !! No ship in a bottle for me. My next project is actually a plastic Bandai kit of a traction engine. I built it many years ago and gave it away but I really want to do it again as I remember it making up into a super model. After that I now have two more planes in my stash, the Albatross and the Curtiss Jenny, a Dennis fire engine and a London tram which again I have built before but very badly so I want to do it properly next time. so no boats for a while.

    Well folks, another project bites the dust ! The Fokker is complete except for the stand. I am waiting for some acrylic glue to make it up with unless I decide to fly it from the ceiling as planned alongside the Sopwith.
     
    Thank you all for watching, showing interest and all your comments. They make the build more fun for me.
     
    Anyway, some pictures for you which hopefully you will enjoy.
