 I've deviated slightly with the bottom row balustrades, instead of 5mmx 3mm. x 3mm. I shortened them to 4mm length,because I thought the railings were too high for the scale.

 on the port covers I have used small eyelets instead of knotting it underneath the lid.tried making rings for the eyelets but were too small for me to handle so I gel superglued the support ropes.with the hinges,I left the overhang on the lid and then made a slot in the top part of the porthole and superglued that,that way I could adjust the angle that I wanted for the lid.

Looking great  the flags certainly bring the Poop deck to life. “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” -Mark Twain

many thanks for all the comments lads,were at the stage now,when there isn't enough hours in the day,and the wife goes into hospital on sunday for minor op.so be looking after her for a bit.thought of putting her on e-bay but couldn't find the right category,antiques I tried,and vintage cars,but no luck. 'spose I'll have to hang on to her for a bit longer.
