Rustyj Posted March 29, 2013 Author #91 Posted March 29, 2013 And more of the walk ways and skid beams etc. Also I included a big oops. This walk way was reversed. Must have been looking in a mirror while I built it. So I took it apart and redid it the correct way.

Rustyj Posted April 1, 2013 Author #101 Posted April 1, 2013 Thank you all for your kind words. Augie you might have seen the light red cloth in some of the shots. That’s an old pillow case I cut up and used it to cover the parts of the model I wasn’t working on. Sure saved a lot of cleaning. Almost done now. Here are the mast stubs and the anchor.
