Good luck Chris,i think the railings add so much to the overall look.

[Mini Me]

So, do you solder the ends or C/A them........I would go with solder if I were on this build......added strength for handling etc.
Good looking job so far.......keep it coming Chris.

[boatman]

AN ALL done on the gun directors close up shot

YES Mark you are right an i love fittin them as you say sets the model off but in this case they have got to be fitted before i can mount the gun diretors

AN HERE an overall shot of them mounted on the main bridge S/S AN ON HERE there are loads more railings that have got to be fitted on but will do them later but garwd them stantions are really fiddley an makin me sweat

[boatman]

AN NOW just for you Rick ive started that deck crane an again a heck of a job to get it nearly right but not a hundred percent but will do me an no it wont work like you was hopein as not got the space or the channels anyway a shot of the real thing an the detail is a bit fuzzy

[boatman]

an heres my attempt not accruate but best i can do but it should swivel an lift up an down by my hand but better that nothing an here the jib laid out full length an im still building the mountin as it needs more study on the real pics as some of it is guess work

[Mickc1440]

More superb work Chris, it's the little details that really bring the thing to life. You're another one with the patience of a saint. Have to agree with Scottie though perhaps Matron can help :hungry:

[boatman]

an here in the fouled up postion an the LED'S are still to be wired up to the S/S MAIN LIVE WIRES

[Mini Me]

Yeah Chris........maybe Matron can show you where the extra channels are so you can make this baby operational!! :tongue-out3: :smiling5: :tongue-out2::thumb2:
