Hello all, The third deck has been secured in place, and almost all the balusters have been fitted to the second deck. The stbd second to third deck ladder has been completed, and the port side ladder fitted. The anti hogging stays are installed, and the main funnel guys rigged. The gangway derrick mast stays have been rigged. A start has been made on the third deck balusters, but has come to a halt, as I have run out of strip wood. I can make the decoration to go on the top of the pilot house, and when the balusters are finished, the model will be complete. I must admit there have been a few times when I wondered if I had bitten off a bit too much, but the end is now in sight. The rest soon. Regards, Tony. Tony C attached the following image(s):

Thanks for looking in Steve, it is 3' 7" long 9.25" wide and 20" tall, as you say it is big. I plan on putting up a shelf in my bedroom and displaying it there.
Regards,
Tony.
