Hi

Just had a look st this for you and step 5 on page 10 of magazine 90 shows the diemensions table.

In this you can see the height of the uprights is 20mm.

Going back to the shorter versions in magazine 55 page 11 the table shows the uprights as being 15mm high.

So between the two magazines the uprights have increased to 20mm in height so you need to work from the table in magazine 90.

Were mag 90 refers to the method as used in mag 55 that is referring to page 11 steps 1 through 8 were it shows how to mark up and cut the posts. Do the same but working on 20mm rather that 15mm

Kind regards

Tony

Now that is interesting and something i have marked in my magazine because my issue 55 shows the height as being 15mm which as you point out magazine 90 suggests 20mm is better.

I collected my model when it first came out so wonder if they changed to magazine detail?

Did your magazine 55 have the height as 20mm then?

I bought my model in the 12 X monthly packs. Pack 6 contains stages 51 - 60, which I guess is roughly equal to the weekly parts ie my stage 55 equates to week 55 when first issued. The dimensions for the upright posts are shown as 20mm high. These I made and put to one side as instructed, for later use. Now on Pack 9, stages 81 - 90. Stage 90 involves making the quarter deck fittings and after making the shot garlands and the bulwark pin rails launches straight into the fitting of the mast grating pin rails. It is silent on specifically talking about the ones made earlier at (my) stage 55 and I am left to conclude that they. I only raised the issue of dimensions as it is referred to in the text of the build diary. Had it not done so I would have ignorantly soldiered. Unfortunately, the magazines I'm using don't tell you if what you've done is correct or not!
thanks for your replies, Mark
