The yellow planking looks quite striking!
It does look rather nice, I look forward to the contrasting planks going on, it should make quite a difference. I have noticed that quite a few issues of this partwork have scant few parts, what is your opinion on this?
Keep on posting your making a nice build there!!
Steve..

Steve.. Hi Steve thats a fair point, but the quality of the parts is getting better (except the Cannon, swivel guns and ships wheel.) maybe the Issues will get fatter towards the end Kind regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi Gus my build is still active, I am just working on some ink finishes and enhancments,the rigging is not authentic, I am getting some new plans. I do not like all the ply parts they need changing to real wood plus I have a replacement ships wheel and new guns. And I am not as fast as Karl  (just joking Kind regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Btw I have the cross section parts list up to issue 118. I get them by subscription, so updates are a bit slow. Really must get going again, with my own Endeavour sometime.
