the lighting from the build will be reduced as time goes on, all the gun ports are going to be busy, with lumps of cannon and riggingand the linings, the hull will be thicker with planking and the gun port lids depending on the angle displayed will reduce the effect even more

thank you

Eric i resize my photo's to 1024x683 (thats a default size within the photo package), i have many photo's of the build process just ask, i will still be following all the logs, Have you had a look at some of the other builds on here - lots of them now

thank you everyone for the comments the intention is to obtain the full PE upgrade kit as a complete set, even though i believe it is more expensive than the kit price (or at ;least about the same) i am still waiting for feedback and prices for supporting UK hobby shop prices before i jump onto obtaining stock from abroad- lol it's the postage that takes a good deal, into one that does not appear to be quite so good the Victory is safe and secure, and i feel very guilty about setting her aside, but thats all i am doing,
