ISSUE 57 BUILD There are approx 30 brass etch parts on a fret approx 2 x 2 inches,and so it is time consuming. I followed the instructions and here is the build, I did make sure all burrs were filed off the parts:- 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.

Mike Just as well my eye's work better over a short distance than they do over long distances, this bit looks quite fun. Well done with it, im still second planking the hull in the spare 5 minutes i get now and then. With regard to the sanding sealer you have mentioned in previous posts, i haven't used it before and am unsure of how to apply it. Do you just paint it on in thin layers and sand back? Your build is looking particularly good Cheers Peter Cheers

Peter Hi Peter, thank you, just paint it on but please make sure your Hull is as smooth as a babies bum, and use it in a well ventilated room, it should ideally be used after you are totally happy with the Hull finish, it will then seal your work the grain will rise, just light sand it again Regards Mike 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.
