Though another item missing, you've forgotten to drill a third hole in the curved stem approx 5mm below the two already there, see issue 44 or my diary build for 44

I have been looking at mr.t's build,and getting more and more puzzled? this part build was advertised as museum quality?as mr.t is building by the book this is no critism on the build,only on the design.using brass eyes for railings,?????? there worse to come,the beams that are to show on the upper deck,hope I'm mistaken that is how they are mean't to be,as they are to show,and are a important feature,they were hefty spliced chunks of wood,with ornate columns beneath,I sincerely hope that this will be provided.and it's beginning to look like some serious cost cutting is going on here.

The on-view deck beams are only for the purpose of supporting the deck during construction, at #59 the beams will be cut away and replaced with spliced deck beams.
Deck support pillar's in this area I believe are part of the content.
'Museum quality' is down to one's abilty to be able to build a model to that standard.

Its never wise to pre-empt the content or build of any partwork, you simply don't know what's coming further down the line or when it will be supplied beyond that of the next issue or from my future issue's info.
By the way how's your Victory coming along?
