The only difficult part of it was getting the moulding to conform to the "S" curve at the forward end. I got a reasonable result by using a former to clamp the moulding strip to until it dried.  | ||

Notice the second stanchion on the port side (your right) is cockeyed. Funny, you don't notice these things until you see it in a photo. I fixed that stanchion in this picture. Notice the pilot house door has an unpainted panel. That was another fix to get the dor to sit in its jamb properly. That panel flew off into space and was replaced.  .   And now I see several stanchions supporting the rail that need fixing. Back to the shop! Tom | ||

I took a picture of my main mast top yesterday and found the bottom part of the yellow section was visible below the cap where it's supposed to be black. I looked at it and couldn't see any yellow! I had to take the mast out and turn it upside down to actually see the problem area! | ||

Recently I posted an update photo of my English Race Galleon and after I made the posting and looked at the photo I found several things not completed. Maybe we should take a photo and have a good look at it on screen before we move on. As a friend of mine once said, the camera is the harshest critic. All that aside Tom, your model is looking great. Cheers Dave | ||
