Well, the stern is done to the best of my ability. Not perfect, but I’m happy with it. Moved outside to spray a light clear coat over ornament.
All the colours pop out in the sunshine John.I was shocked when you said you took the model outside for clearcoat,then after giving myself a shake,I realised you in Texas and I am in Yorkshire
It would be freeze dried over ere.

Does this count as rigging?!?!
Can’t sleep. Fabricated and attached hull steps on port side. Used white glue, as you can see. Not dry yet!
Starboard done 
Well, much to my horror, I installed these steps incorrectly. Thank goodness I used white glue! All cleaned up and corrected.
