yea...those metal windows- railings etc. (wouldn't bend, made them out of wood) are the weakest part of the kit....smart move.......the sculptures at the stern could have been more refined too, although those on the frieze etc were fine...at least from the kit i got many years ago............haha...i gave my model to a dentist to pay for my wife's veneers......i don't really have it all together upstairs .....

that definitely is a difficult area ....so many angles....coming along well.....good shew

i'd make the colums....maybe make a mold of the white metal one, and cast in acrylic or whatever....i don't remember, but i think i painted them gold .....i always found that much of the cast metal was a pain in the a---.............wait till you get to the rails ...the stuff i got in my kit many years ago, wouldn't bend a smidgen ..........i got the acrylic liquid and powder from my wife who worked in a dental office...i used that a lot..................cheers................
