Hi Stuart. Just finished HMS Warrior and thought you might consider some of the extras I added to the kit. I know its to late for gun deck cannons and lighting but I made all the other tenders and extra rope work which I found the kit sorely missing. When it came to the hammock racks around the gunwale I used 3mm dowel cut slightly short of the recess then wrapped the canvas around and tucked any loss ends in the gaps. You have to bend a few lengths to follow the bow line. I think if you go to Facebook and search for HMS Warrior you should come up with my build. Regards John Cook
