Chain plates done on the Starboard side and lids just under the channels before fixing channels permanently. My channels were a touch too high, it's a bit of a compromise anyway. I covered all cannon port holes as I went. If you haven't done so already put a sheet under your work table makes it easier to find the dropped parts.

Looking good. Small medic type scissors work well for the small pieces. Yes you will stick those pieces into your fingers.

Start of the lids. No thin wall brass the size I want for the lid ropes available in N.Z. postage from cmb to N.Z. expensive. Found some left over rudder chain for my lid rings the right size. I'm going to add the lids I need under the channels then fit those and the supports. Then the rest of the lid work.

Nice job on the rings, Lots of lid work coming up alright. I hope the cat does'nt like the taste of walnut.

Thanks Graham, I'm well short of your skill level, I love how you did your scrolls. I have had to accept and move on from quite a lot. I have still got the starboard side to try and make a bit better. I'm lucky people who see it think it's an aeroplane anyway.

Port side profiles done, more painting to do yet plus parts 180 and 194 to fit. Profiles did'nt line up the same way as the plans so I just did what looked alright. The plan measurements were different in reality to my Victory. I'll make the lids under the channels I need too before gluing the channels in properly and adding their supports. Avoided a few mistakes doing these, If I added my miss adventures to this build log I would be up to page 100 by now. Lots of exercise today bending down under the table, I have'nt dropped the knife on my foot yet but there's always tomorrow.

Start of the Lantern brackets. I thought the 0.7 wire was a bit flimsy but the choice of bigger wire was forced on me anyway by breaking off the 0.7 drill bit right in the centre of the lantern base. I had to use the 1.5 wire as the 1mm has gone walking. Trying to get the trophy of arms looking reasonable. One of the Lance heads broke off but the sheet under my work bench caught it.

A bit side tracked with the rudder now back to the gunport lids.
