Where have I gone wrong here? I followed the measurements from the book but I think the hole located on the curve should be where the red arrow is? Can anybody please advise.  Thanks Baz Current builds: HMS Victory, hachette black pearl, DC-3, R2-D2, Millennium Falcon

Hi Baz. It looks to me like the bottom spar in not at right angles? But that could look that way because I am looking at it from an angle. What are the distances between the spar tips on either side?

They both have a spacing of 27mm between the tips. I think it's my dodgy camera skills that make them look slanted.   Current builds: HMS Victory, hachette black pearl, DC-3, R2-D2, Millennium Falcon

Looking at the plans and build diary the holes don't match up. On the 1:1 plan the holes that go off at a 90 degree angle start on the 6th hole from the back but on the official build diary they start from the 5th hole. Hope that makes sense . What has everybody else done? Thanks Baz Current builds: HMS Victory, hachette black pearl, DC-3, R2-D2, Millennium Falcon

Hi Baz, Just checked mine and they are pretty much like yours although the hole nearest the bow end is not placed at the curve of the border but very slightly before it. Steve

Thanks Steve, think I will bring it slightly back like you mentioned rather than taking it further forward Current builds: HMS Victory, hachette black pearl, DC-3, R2-D2, Millennium Falcon
