druxey Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted February 5, 2018 Thank you, gentlemen. All being well, the book should be out by Fall. Plan sheets are completed and the final manuscript is being proofread. The pedestals are patterned after 18th century ones under models in the Royal Museums Greenwich collection. They are of ebonised wood. Inside each pedestal are two long bolts that engage captive nuts hidden in the model's rising wood and deadwood. The pedestals are, in turn, screwed to the baseboard from below. While there have been several enquiries about the model, as of today it is still unsold. mtaylor, Canute, paulsutcliffe and 2 others 5 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
