  2. Hello Denis, Very nice looking progress, I purchased "The Period Ship Handbook" by Keith Julier, ISBN 1-85486-081-x ,The first model in the book is The Royal William,70 pages of the build,Got it through Amazon via Greener Books Ltd,London,UK. A used copy but looks new in every way costing 10.95 cn,and only 6.49 cn to ship,a good deal on book and shipping,took 8 days to get here.Edwin

  4. Hello Denis,It looks like you did not read the fine print as to the requirement of scaffolding for such a tall build(take heed ,workman's compensation are eye boiling you),in the east not far from you bamboo is used for scaffolding,But aside from that little error you seem to be getting along well without my suggestions(Well)keep up the good work. PS a little stick in the spoke ,(how is the wall painting going)yeh right. Edwin.
  5. Hello Sailer,I will have to invest in a better dictionary as all the words I would like to use have been said, "nicely done" will have to do foe now. Picked up the idea of (easy handling) the thick piece of ply /drilled holes for masts etc Thanks.Edwin

  24.
