    HI Rick yes chain drillin went ok an all the windows are now squared up to what they show in the plans so I can do the doors tomorrow then you say what next ? you got me there boyo as there is loads to do on this S/S an I havnt planned that far ahead yet I think it may be the rasied sections on the main bridge S/S at the rear as they are small boat mountin on these but if I build them I will leave one side open for now as I want to run some wirein through them for the ship's floodlightin LED's to illuminante the bridge S/S when she is on show at an exhibition show how's that an thanks for lookin in
