I know it's a bit late but this is my build so far.I have pretty much followed the instructions but have made a few small changes,including varnishing the lower hull,door frames,hatches and changing deck material.The following pics are a few weeks old. I am now in the process of fitting ratlines  .Will take more photo's in the next few days. nightwisher attached the following image(s): Man he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day will cease to be Greet the last light of the library...We were here!

Ok so this is where I am today,the the bottom two tiers of ratlines are complete and about to start the upper tiers.I didn't really like the tan thread so ordered artesania latina brown thread from cmb.I was quite disappointed with the quality, inconsistent colour and fraying (not just at the ends).I carried on though a bit of pva here and there to stop the fraying. nightwisher attached the following image(s): Man he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day will cease to be Greet the last light of the library...We were here!
