Thanks for taking an interest Hans, another update. Been cracking on with the beakhead detail and had to make a couple of new parts and a raid in the spares box. This is the bridge to the bowsprit remade better than the original as everything is now flush fitted. The figurehead ,a cast lump of brass.  HMS Surprise
