I think the dimensions are what you think is best. That's my attitude. If I question it I generally try to answer it myself. (Since I'm the one who has to live with it). But it looks like you're doing a very nice job. Those gratings and capstan handles are a lady. It takes a lot of dedication and discipline.

Hi Robert It looks to me[ but it may be the illusion caused by the pic] that you have 3 sizes or matching pairs there, the centre 2 look about the same size, then working outwards each way 3 and 4 seam to match as do 5 and 6 so you may be able to do something with them using them as pairs [5,3,1,2,4,6 as you look at your pic] Hope this is of help Regards Andy  Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Robert the parts your looking for are made from some of the 3mm dowel you were supplied, these also make up parts of the masts but at 7 mm they supply the doweling over length anyway so you should be ok. Hope this helps. Builds in progress: HMS Victory.HMS Surprise.

I made my own since I personally think the 3mm is way too thin. I went in at around 6mm which seems to be more to scale. I'm at the point where I don't follow the kit instructions any more other than as a reference. I go by photos of the Movie ship and make my best guess. So far it looks a lot better than following the directions.
