As a new builder myself I have chosen to build as per the official build until my skills improve. Mike is a very advanced builder, so the choice is up to you in the end.  Good luck for the future of your build, whichever way you choose to go. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Martyn, I have to agree with the previous comments made on attempting modifications unless you really feel you have the experience and knowledge to see them through.... Although I was very very tempted to follow MWG's lead on modifying the stern I believe in my own mind I made the right decision to follow the mag and the official build... Yes I am making my own modifications but these are purely in the appearance of the build and not in the construction.... Good luck on your build....
Regards
Alan
