You know mark it's such a shame to cover up such beautiful detail but to have an open sided ship also to me looks strange the knowledge of knowing the ship is built with such love and detail will spur your heart on to make grander undertakings She looks great best of luck to you

Thank you so much tom I tried the square peg through the strip I tried cutting them like you did but couldn't line them up like I liked them they looked bulky to me so I figured I would go with something thinner I appreciate your comment to look at mine and yours it's nice to know you liked mine
