Thanks very much for all of your great comments,i can just sit here and look at it now.If anyone else does this kit follow the measurements on the plan not the ones in the colour instruction book.Now for a rest and follow all of your builds.Thanks for looking in and for your help.Ron.

More or less finished the Endeavour now,just need to attach a sail above the ships launch if Occre send me one or I find it again.Two and a half years as time permitted pretty good kit overall but who knows what the Endeavour really looked like,there's so many variations around with great details.Now to organise a case for it.Thanks to all of the guys who have built or are building Endeavours for the photos and advice and also for everyone else's help,it would have been nearly impossible without your help.For micklen32 and Augie r.i.p thanks men,see you later on.

Thanks a lot Mark,Denis,and Pat and for the likes.I was thinking a diorama would look good but need to see how others have done it,that would give me permanent white caps then.Wish I had sky to see the Cook doco's they would be excellent.

Thanks Max,i'm glad you've already done it,I keep looking at your photos to see how you have done things.The tie off points on the plan are pretty weird so I've just put them where I think they look better.I'm getting a bit rigged out at the moment but most of it is done now,just the easy rigging to do now.

Thanks a lot for your comments men.the 0.25 and 0.5mm thread is caldercraft from cornwall model boats,those sizes in Occre thread were rubbish.I'm getting a guy in Christchurch here to make up an acrylic case top 4.5mm looks a bit stronger than 3mm.One of my work mates is making a base for it so should turn out well.After we move back to our rebuilt house after the eartquakes in September I've got a plastic huey to do then maybe a Chinese junk,i like them after visiting China.We'll see.
