brasso apparantly is ok for glass, but im surprised it was damaged that much just using the wrong side of a sponge

its a great idea having a list of things to do, problem is that it is slowed down by a bigger list of things to do which you dont know about yet, love your progress she is looking great i presume the lens is plastic https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sumex-QUIXX20-Plastic-Polish-Scratch/dp/B004KKOMIM/ref=sr_1_2?adgrpid=55975971489&hvadid=259104816685&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006563&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=3540535818710459271&hvtargid=kwd-309255416550&keywords=scratch+remover+for+plastic&qid=1552424137&s=gateway&sr=8-2&tag=googhydr-21

good evening everyone well the rudder rigging was sorted, and im in the process of doing the davits, although i have nothing to put on them, all the ships boats are so brittle i have been unable to salvage any of the them, Caldercraft dont stock them in 1/72 at this present time

thank you for the help on this subject, this is how i have interperated it after seeing the longbridge drawing
-
lol another 2 hours research to do a two minute job
-
well i went back down stairs preparing to do the knot and accidentally knock my Longbridge book on the floor, which opened on the running rigging plans, and there was the answer, the line in this case passes along the channel and into the hull
-
thank you, but strange that it was held by a knot and not a cleat
-
thank you so much, just the info i needed, can i use your photo in my build log please
-
Thanks Mark, non of my books show it, and the plans certainly dont, infarct before yesterday, i was completely unaware of the line passing up the hull, i had only ever seen the chain, even though i was right in thinking why it was there
-
Mort good morning from the Spectacle plate the chain has been tied (not passed through) two eyebolts

good evening everyone i am presently rigging the rudder on my build, from the spectacle plate the chains are fitted then to a hook attached to a line which passes up the hull to the after channel where it passes through, but where does it go to after that? is it tied off at the channel, or does it pass into the hull
-
Jerry, good morning the cannons on the main deck were originally fitted, but were removed when i went for the diorama route and shut the lids, but due to space restrictions that was stopped as well i will never have the opportunity to do another Victory build, but it would be so different i I did, are you and family well?
