Ok on with the build the stand is next i deviated a little on the build by not glueing the centre cross member until i had joined the longer lengths together then glued this in position after i had sanded it back,this makes it easyer to sand in my view.The next part i changed was to add some pins/wire to the pedistal tops to make the joining of the hull/stand easyer plus having somthing to fix it on to the hull.My last change was the pedistal colour it recomends gold in the build but personaly i think gold looks tacky unles done really well so i opted to use bronze ,i also panted the rest of the stand gloss black and if i say so my self im quite pleased with the resultsbut everyone to there own as they say.As ussual all comments are welcome regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All On with the build,next its the assemble of the bilge keel components and the sanding to profile as per the instructions.Just a word of warning here when i came to the sanding part i discovered that some of the ply laminations on the wood supplied wernt joined together properly so extra glueing was needed here,might just be a 1 off but keep an eye on yours.All in all a simple job to profile back just watch that you keep to the profile specified.I will only be dry fitting the bilge keels for now as im waiting till all the hull armour components are fitted before i add these.As ussual all comments are welcome regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
