Are you ready for the horrors of PE!

Please observe the wonky ladder, like that on the real ship this side shows my lack of PE skills



This shows i hope some improvement, the anttena was fiddly and could be better

Finally got around to bending the cages around the ladders, followed advice and bent around a drill bit, first one ok, next much better

Finally the mast, the plans are poor had to find a picture of a built one to see how the anntenna fitted. Could have done better


Found PVa very good but had to use CA for the ladders.

All ready for priming, hoping to finish next week. Been a steep curve, have typed out a list of do's and do'nts

Do nots is the biggest list lol

Next ship will be built much differently

WELL Bob m8 apart from the banna ladder its great an i think that if you get a scapel blade an gently slide it under the ladder to about half way up from the bottom an then holding a ruler agaisnt it you can straighten it up an then lightly touch up the grey paint an it will look great

Will try that Chris, its not painted yet. Primer on Monday then top coats

The bent ladder was caused by me cutting of the fret completly wrong!
