Perfect. Success. !
That really was niggling me once you mentioned it. I think I can get away with it.
Imagine if it was the big 48 scale. Would be like trying to bend a joist.

This is just a brilliant build Neil. Even bending and inverted beam works out perfectly. Great fix. Cheers Grant

I have to confess that I was sitting with the nay-sayers on this attempted repair. BRAVO Neil!

Quick update :
More work on the decks and the fittings.
Ships wheel, cabinet, pumps, stove and anchor winch. ( Don’t know the mariners terms and names.
I just build. !
Gave on the photo etch pieces for the stove as way too small, (will take a pic the next time alongside a rule just to show you how minute the pieces are) and I think by gluing them on would have made more of a mess.
I just painted some relief on the resin moulds. Looks ok for this scale.
Plus there is no reference on the PE parts on the sheet ( only on the plan sheets. ) Pointless then.
Starting on the Bow now.
This is getting very small scale and delicate now.
Tweezers are full time now. Lol !

Ditto. Everything is so “crisp” and symmetry is perfect. If I get near this I will have a party. Cheers Grant

Thank you Grant. The hard bit begins now. The instructions are very poor. Looking through your scale build instructions, I see the same lack of information on the latter stages.
The details have been very vague to say the least.
Enjoying your build very much.

They have to give you some sort of challenge.
