not a lot to show for 4 hours work, but what a difference it make to the profile of the build, the banding was made with plastic strips, - not finished one of the reasons i have done this early is to have a rough idea where the shrouds will lie, as i want to place the 1/4 deck davits in soon, they fit between the deadeys.

good afternoon everyone, thank you for the Birthday wishes, very much appreciated had a play with the mizzen mast, months ahead of where i am at present, but fancied a change, if i have to do it again, it's no big deal i did the mast in two sections, 8mm dowel, and 5mm square stock, and will pin the two together the mast is tapered on the two sides so as to fit the cheeks. but is banded with styrene before and after they are added, the assembly is then primed
