 Martyn, some very good craftsmanship going on here. I had the tip from one of my ship's ribs splintered off while planking the hull. I manage to glue it together again and its looks great again.

The detail looks great, Martyn. You gave me an idea to create my own rails. Marcel "Rather try and fail than had failed to try".Sovereign of the Seas Model Space forum: Marcel's build

Looking great Martyn, I too like the personal touches.. I intend to do something similar but am waiting to see what other fittings have to be put in place first to make sure nothing gets obstructed.... .. Keep the pics coming and well done.... Regards Alan

Fab work Martyn, love the little rail round the hatch, thought it was part of the build until you mentioned it - nice of you to think of the crew's safety after a rum or two Steve

If its appropriate, you can also hang a rope-gate across the entrance of the rail, like in the Vic. "Rather try and fail than had failed to try".Sovereign of the Seas Model Space forum: Marcel's build
