Tom your build looks awesome well done. Is it possible to have a photo side on to see the height of the mast.
Keep up the excellent work

Hi Tom,
It looks so different when you start adding the masts. The main mast really is impressive. Just like your model in general. You've done a cracking job so far mate. Have you gone for the natural finish? And is that the cut-out I see there as well?

Hi Tom!  Looks good mate! but you are rushing ahead of the magazine and Tomick, you haven't fitted all the parts to the main yard yet so take care.

It can be disasterous to pre-empt the build

Heh, I know I'm ahead and I still have some parts missing but that I'm going to fit this week. Thanks to Tomick's clear build diary and fantastic mast plans I managed to do it :) On the other hand I'm fully aware of possible problems I might get myself in to but I just couldn't resist...
