Hi Mike,
I’m Mike from Denver Colorado. Your Yacht Mary is incredible. Can I ask where you got the material used in the gallery windows? Thanks for any help you could give me.

 

[Mike Dowling]

Sorry not to have replied earlier but I have only just seen your post. I used some stuff called Micro Kristal Klear for microscale industries inc. It is readily available from Amazon. Brilliant stuff and very useful for all sorts of things including gluing metal castings to models.

 

[Capt mike]

Thank you very much, Mike. I’ll check it out.

Hi Mike, it’s me again.
Can you tell me if parts for the steps (#74,75,76) were pre-cut in the kit or did you have to make from scratch?
Thank you for any help.

 

[Mike Dowling]

Can you send me a picture as I am not sure which parts you mean.

 

[Capt mike]

I hope this helps, and thanks again for your help.

 

[Mike Dowling]

I think they were provided on a sheet but it was a while ago so I may be wrong. I don't remember scratch building them though.

 

[Capt mike]

I believe this is the sheet I’ve been looking for. Thanks again.

 

[Mike Dowling]

No I don't think it is. On the diagram it looks like parts 74 and 75 are provided but the tops of the steps are pieces of planking material that you have to cut and shape.

 

[Mike Dowling]

Or, were there two pieces in each of those cutouts? If so you will be right but you have to make parts 76. Sorry about that.

 

[Capt mike]

Yes there were two parts in each cutout. Lower step and smaller upper step. Here is my result. Paper is to give some contrast. What do you think?

 

[Mike Dowling]

Lovely, just the job.

 

[Capt mike]

Hi Mike, it’s me again. Hope you’re doing well. I was wondering if you recall having to remove this bulkhead top above the side rail to accommodate the rear cabin? See pics.
Thanks again for all your help.

 

[Mike Dowling]

Not sure that I remember but I am fairly certain that I didn't cut those off. Sorry not to be more helpful.

 

[Capt mike]

No worries thanks anyway.
