Hi all let me start this update by saying (in the politest possible way)

F$%# b%$$/%% hell.

Let me explain.*

I do my modeling in the spare bedroom, I lay a piece of vinyl down on the floor immediately round my work bench and on top of the bench I put the container with all the brass pieces on the bed behind me after removing some parts needed for my next bit of work I set to adding some of the stanchions on the bow and heard this noise as if a plastic container of billions of bits had fallen on the floor, imagine my surprise when turning round to find that is exactly what had happened and of course as it was BEHIND me and not around the vinyl protection area it had fallen on a shag pile carpet, of course the lid came off. So after moving the bed (carpet was under it) shaking the carpet out I got this.

I'm really chuffed with how it's going (I should point out check ALL the stanchinons BEFORE gluing them in place as some of the holes are not clear and removing and drilling them after they are glued in place is no easy task.
 
Hi Ken
A heart stopping moment and a wasted few hours. Glad you recovered the parts. Ship's looking superb. I imagine the rigging is going to be a long and painstaking job

Someone suggested getting a cheap vacuum cleaner and keeping it just for disasters like that.

Thanks guys, pete have you tried hovering a shagpile carpet to retrieve parts, all it seems to do is force them deeper in or tangle them in the pile more.
Trust me the easiest way is to shake it over some plain paper (do I seem experienced in these matters)
