Hi all
Just a quick update
I just had to put the straps on the back of the sheilds as I didn't think they looked right.
All good cheers snowy

Hi all
So last time we met it was rigging time and adding the accessories
I think I'm just about there it's just the figurehead and I have to build a base and cover

Gday Russell the instructions were good just remember when you do the planking mark out as it says on the plans .also when you get to the end of planking the last on Port and starboard are upside down. And when you start number all of them in numbers from i think no.19 to 29
And check first pre fit 1 set port 1 set starboard
Cheers and good luck she is fun to build any questions give me a text
Cheers snowy
