  2. of course it depends on what it sells for, but seeing individual bits going at silly prices, i guess anything selling individual bits would recoup itself

  6. good evening everyone after deck awning stanchion the instructions, say 40mm bend 5mm and hammer flat the last 2mm and drill 1mm hole in the flat bit x 12 must be a better way, so i took 35mm bend 5 and added a pintle on the end by soldering x 12, these will be added to the build this week, lol i see so many snag hazards later on with the rigging, im going to curse this so very much i dont know what these look out posts are called, but again i have replaced gluing with soldering, there is not a lot of room for them, i will have to shorten the hand rail by a couple of mm NOT MY PHOTO, this is what i am trying to achieve

  11. good evening everyone i redid the derrick mast, 40mm to long was something that was going to look a bit stoopid, one on the right is the correct length the funnel has been stripped back of colour the stern railings are now in position, although the capping has still to be sanded down the stern lifeboat davits have also been made up and inplace but not fixed
