Robert about the problem yo posted on Dragzz buildlog : the forward posts that hold up the lower deck

 

i have he same issue. for me it was too late to move the lower holes forward a bit so what i am going to do is bend them a little so the will sit against the corner

the bend is unnoticable unless you looko really close up

Not done very much of the week.

 

the plateaus made ​​to the wheelhouse and the stairs and railings attached.

The railing is only 2x2 mm and I have had a lot of work with it.

Hi Robert. I am watching your log and I am filled with amazement! You are doing a great job tackling some of the issues that are inherent with this kit. I have just purchased it myself, and I can't wait to get started. I really like the changes you made on the windows and shutters. The yellow is a bit too much in my opinion. You did a fine job with the curved staircases as well. One of the biggest things that concerns me about this model is the deck support posts. I hope I am able to find a way to make them work for me! Thanks for sharing your build, Robert!

I have lately not much built on the mississippi because I'm simultaneously build the HMS Victory Mantua.

I will now continue with the railings on the Mississippi, once there is some progress, I will post some photos
