Thankyou Hans, and thankyou again to Jan Zwart for the acetate windows, I have now been able to continue. The gallery seems to be taking ages since i deviated from the plan but it is getting there now, just the top row of windows to go and then the trim and decorations. The quarter galleries are complete exept for a touch up on some cut ends. Here's a few more pics, hope to complete this tomorrow minus 2 decorations which are in a later issue!

Beautifully neat Steve, even with those close-ups, we all know how the camera shows up the tiniest flaw.

Thanks to everyone for all the nice comments, Im sure everyone will agree that it does mean a lot to get positive encouragement on a build. I'll need all the kind words I can get when I begin the rigging Hope to post some more pics later but my wife is due home this afternoon after having gall bladder removed so I may have to take on some extra duties! Steve
