Rob Top notch piece of work - well done. Interesting question on mast lighting. I guess in those days if anything it would have been a candle in a pot type approach. Happy Modelling

Thanks Tony,the question on mast lights I wasn't sure if it was a new thing due to the fact that the sea now days are quite busy so you need to be seen but those days ? If they did I need to get a wire ready to go up the mast .thanks again Rob

Fab build anyway Steve Thanks For your kind comments Steve I wanted a way to bring a bit of realism to the build , and if it looks quite affective I may do the whole side of the ship. Thanks again Rob.

Hi Rob, haven't been able to find any definitive answer to your mast lighting question..... I would imagine, if there were any lights then they would probably have been simple lanterns that may have been on or near the fighting tops....  .. Hopefully someone else on here will be able to give you a more definitive answer..... Regards Alan

Many thanks Ian ,haven't done anything on the build for 5 months had problem with bank someone had a spending spree at my expense it's been a nightmare especially when the bank doesn't believe you so had to cancel all my accounts but hopefully it's sorted now. Just started to receive my SOTS issues So let the build commence , hopefully have some pictures soon (if I can remember how to do it )
