Wow, thanks for the replies everyone. Defnitely glad this one is off the bench for sure!!!!!
potchip-Yeah, I thought the pe for the mast was just way to thing and knew there was no way it would hold its shape when it came to rigging.
Manny, p38j- just lol
TD4438- most of the bends in the railings were just done using a pair of tweezers. I would hold the railings up to where they were to be mounted and get an idea of where the bend was by counting stanchions. Even the curved bends were done using a pair of tweeers. I have to say though ,the kit pe railings worked great and were very prices as to fit all the different lengths. I used some aftermarket railings to supplement the kit ones and they were nice as well. I used Gator Glue for all the pe on this ship and man, I absolutely love this stuff for railings!!!!!!!!!
bondo- thanks man, but I think the Brits beat you to it
Maybe my next build will be the Hasegawa Tallboy Lanc in the stash to go with this one, hehe
tigerman-thanks for hanging in for the ride even thought it has been a long one!!!
