Hi Garth. Your doing superb job on the Victory. I found that once ratlines were done it transforms the look of the build. Chris On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.

Hi Chris, You are so right. I'm about half way now and it has made a huge difference. I have fitted the Main Mast upper and Futtock Ratlines. All went pretty well. I think that I've got the hang of it now. Kind regards, Garth Garth attached the following image(s): "Measure twice, cut once!!!"
