It is still on its side!

When you open the photo it is the correct way round - so Zak you don't have to lay on the carpet (in case you go to sleep and don't get your normal 25 models finished per day !!!!! )

It looks good at any angle Haddock.

At least people are noticing and commenting on the work to date.

Yep!.....that is 100% HS.

Bit more progress. I'm starting to have nightmares about spiders webs, there are ten stays supporting the topmast and eleven supporting the mainmast, plus the yard-lifts. I've lost count of funnel stays. Pity about the rubbish pictures.

Still a very impressive looking vessel though!  Plenty of firepower looking at it too!

You don`t Need to have nightmares...."stay" with it!

Here's some brass rails stuck in place, have to mind I don't get any brush marks when their painted.

How do you keep your hands still enough to place them so precisely??

Looks good Haddock.

I don't, just poke it around till it looks somewhere near, slosh some glue on and hope!!

[zak]

Keep sloshing away then, it obviously works for you!

Thinking about the new Star Wars film Haddock reminds me of Yoda ---  "about a bit poke it I do" ----   he is also a real jedi master at all he undertakes.

He is my master - I just wish I had the skills to be his apprentice.
