harlequin Posted May 11, 2016 Author #159 Posted May 11, 2016 two quarter deck halves in place offered up for final position, then I realised that the belay rack is virtually imposible to position once the quarter deck has been placed so belay rack completed c/w belay pins already in position for later.

harlequin Posted May 11, 2016 Author #160 Posted May 11, 2016 now that belay rack was glued into position I could then glue in the two halves of the quarter deck. kier, Canute and Martin W 3 Quote

harlequin Posted May 17, 2016 Author #170 Posted May 17, 2016 ships wheel and binnacle now added.....very little surface area on both the wheel and binnacle to apply glue so mixed a tiny amount of epoxy and applied to an area which cant be seen and then placed onto the deck and allowed the epoxy to run down to the deck to set.

harlequin Posted May 17, 2016 Author #171 Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) I need a single malt after those two pillars. Later realised that these two pillars were placed wrongly......they belong further underneath the poop deck along side of the ships wheel and a single pillar in front of the binnacle......see further along the build log for photo details.
