Hate to tell you, but your topgallant mast holes appear to have been drilled on the wrong side of the mast.

The dotted lines on the plan represent holes that run forward to aft, it is only the bottom pair of holes that run port to starboard.

For the top six holes, the mast was to be rotated thru 90 degrees, I seem to recall SoB and one or two others making the same mistake which is easy to overlook during the haste of build.

You've ploughed on very well, and it seems to be taking shape nicely and the peronal touches making it your own.
For a novice builder you've done very well, simply because a model ship of this level is not an easy build by any standard, but the magazine certainly makes it possible and far easier than the build manual in the standard kit, which is formatted in the knowledge that you know or have a good idea as what needs to be achived and how to go about it.

Keep up the good work! Cool

It is easy to overlook this problem as there is no mention of it on the plans.

SOME-ONES BEEN BUSY.
You have done a lot since your last post, the holes for the the mast are simple to fix. Cocktail sticks are so useful for filling misdrilled holes, I have had to use them to fill in some misdrilled holes in the main fighting top.
As Tomick has pointed out the instructions are quite clear, but, if the reader doesn't interpret the instruction as the writer intended mistakes will happen. That is the benefit of this forum, Tomicks excellent step by step guide and some very good build diaries posts by other members.
Not forgetting the usually very good build instructions with the magazine, But all in all your build is coming along very well, and I can see by your posts that you are for the most part enjoying the build!
Keep up the good work, I look forward to your next post.
Steve..

I agree with all that has been said before, a nice clean build with some extra personal touches. Well done Benny.
