thanks alan,bit of a story on this last episode, fitted the rails and hand rails,then checked it against the plan,and..........disaster, I'd made all the rails the same size, should have stepped up at the stern end,lesson here.READ and check instructions at EVERY stage, and then check again.I had to remake the handrails and uprights. the uprights are all pinned to the deck,which allows them to be adjusted,then you can run superglue down the uprights to glue them permanent.

Easily done Karl but a nice lesson to advertise.... have done it myself where I haven't paid enough attention to the instructions and had to redo things... Still the correction looks great and love seeing her slowly getting her detail.... .. Keep posting and I'll keep following.... Regards Alan
