More work on her, the forward cabins were very confusing.
The steps were a pain to fit and to be honest they couldn't be used anyway, look where they are you would have to get round the belaying pins and anyway they come out under the poop deck (incidentally that is exactly where the instructions tell you to put them.

Hi well I've got the latrines and the latrines pump done, this is such a major undertaking I can see at least another 2 yrs in this kit.

Done some of the panels round the top rails and made a start on the bowsprit, even added the figurehead.

Hi all let me start this update by saying (in the politest possible way)
F$%# b%$$/%% hell.
Let me explain.*
I do my modeling in the spare bedroom, I lay a piece of vinyl down on the floor immediately round my work bench and on top of the bench I put the container with all the brass pieces on the bed behind me after removing some parts needed for my next bit of work I set to adding some of the stanchions on the bow and heard this noise as if a plastic container of billions of bits had fallen on the floor, imagine my surprise when turning round to find that is exactly what had happened and of course as it was BEHIND me and not around the vinyl protection area it had fallen on a shag pile carpet, of course the lid came off. So after moving the bed (carpet was under it) shaking the carpet out I got this.
And after several hours
This
So on with the update.
I'm really chuffed with how it's going (I should point out check ALL the stanchinons BEFORE gluing them in place as some of the holes are not clear and removing and drilling them after they are glued in place is no easy task.

Ken,
I can imagine the colour of the air mate when that lot went over. The beautiful work continues.

Thanks guys, pete have you tried hovering a shagpile carpet to retrieve parts, all it seems to do is force them deeper in or tangle them in the pile more.
Trust me the easiest way is to shake it over some plain paper (do I seem experienced in these matters)
