I was there on Sunday, I didn't see any rings but the new WW1 stuff was great.
Those rings on the barrels look a bit odd?
is it some special version or what?

Hi Haddock,

One thing I can be sure of, is that you will portray your barrels to best of your interpretation of the details available. I know you will do some real deep research before committing them to the model.

Nice work, Haddock!!

The rings shouldn't be there, that's why I've sanded 'em off. Seems to be a common mistake with Trumpeter kits, you would have thought they would know better by now, still, good business for the after market guys.

Don't suppose you can call this real modelling, more like muddle engineering!

Looks like modelling to me!

Small and impressive is what I would call it.

Bit like me, eh!

No, I wouldn't use one of those descriptors for you!

          Fore-topmast parts......... can you see the saw-cut for locating the platform?
                      Bit of muddle engineering.

Is that it up near the top, it shows in the enlargement I think.

That's the one. You can see why when it's assembled. More to go on yet.
