Excellent work on the crew member Bernd, the photo unfortunately doesn't give any indication of the size... maybe a photo next to a cent would show up the excellent work even better..... love it....  Regards Alan

Hi! Here the next update ----- and I´m not happy  I worked a little bit on the main deck and placed the launches. But what´s that - three stands for 2 launches??? Well, the third one is part of the additional issues here in Germany! Sorry, but thats a bad idea of making money. Then I tried to mount the ship lanterns. Please believe me, I tried everything to do this but it´s absolutely impossible. You know, my english is not very good. I know only one english word for this: waste! There was only one decision for me. I put the original lanterns were they belong (waste bag) and bought some new from a spare part shop. Regards, Bernd der Gohfelder attached the following image(s):

Bernd To be honest "waste" is a good word to use in a forum - you could try "rubbish" for the uk reader. Really feel for your problems but guess what -.for all the issues this kit might have (and with any kit there are always issues) you are doing a real top job of putting this one together. Try to look in as often as I can and what I see is something really special being made. Happy modelling Tony Happy Modelling

Hi Tony! Thank you very much for your kind comment! I know, modelling means having good day and bad days. But the lantern problem is a general problem. I´ve seen this in all German forums and I´m sure you will get this in England too. So this shoud be a warning for the Pearl builders in England for the future. Perhaps the modellers could come together and make a big order for new lanterns to get a better price Regards, Bernd

You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

Steve Hi Steve! Thank you very much! Some of the Germen Pearl builders made their own wooden lanterns. Not easy but also a good idea. Regards, Bernd
