ISSUE 5 PARTS 21 TO 24 Hi Team I started by fitting the Port and Starboard side Deck Plates,and as MR T found, rib 24 was lower by 2mm than the others so I packed it with a scrap piece of 5x2mm planking(see Photo) I then glued them and put some pins in to hold till set. Thats all this time Mike MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Forgive me asking Mike,but if 24 was 2mm lower then surely 25 is as well? Asking this because the deck seems to slope down,also I hope to be resuming my Vic build & starting this & Hood as well. Rob Nolli Illigitimi Carborundum!!!Current Builds: HMS Victory, SV Thermopylae

Mike,
You have the middle deck section upside down, the long slot should be on the port side, see step 3 on page 110 of the steps
