Hi Rob, think you are going to have to be a little more specific. Can you highlight the ropes you are referring to and the issue number you are working on.....  Regards Alan

Just thought I would put these photos of the mainstay and preventer to see how i did as it is not the easiest of job to do. I used two forceps to add weight while holding the heart block with thread. I was wondering how many of you put the spears on the bottom of the masts . cheers for now sandnesspeats attached the following image(s):

Hi Rob, I used Humbrol No 19 for the red and mixed the French blue with white to get the pale blue... http://www.cornwallmodel...oss-acrylic-paints.html

Hi folks, Just thought i would update the build, I have just about finished the build ,just the flags to do but hesitating because of the way the paper flags look ie: is there an alternative. I wanted to ask how you displayed the ship,perspex,glass etc. I will build the display case myself. When is the HMS Victory Cross Section available, I would like to put that alongside the Victory in the case. I would like to thank everybody for all their help in building this amazing project  . Just a few pics of the almost finished project. sandnesspeats attached the following image(s):
