Hi Gaz! From the look of the early photos of your hull you've got nothing to worry about concerning your planking skills, she looks lovely and clean and perfectly symetrical - well done indeed! And I love that 'stormy sea' background in the first set! Keep going the same way and you'll be proud of her at the end!

Hi guys a little update of where I am at the moment. . I ummmed and aaad for months as to whether to go down the tiling or painting route. For that reason I never fitted the rudder but now I have decided to paint I fitted the rudder.  I then moved on and begun on the masts  and completed issues 61-64. A lot of sanding and carving but got there in the end.    Apolgies the photos not the best. Thanks for looking in. Regards. Gareth Completed models,Hachette Titanic.Deags. Hms Victory.

Hi GAZ , Thought I`d pop in and have a look and it`s looking good. Thinking I may have to raise my ceilings looking at that mast  . I have a way to go before masts on either Sots or the Vic, but it does look like a very interesting part of a build, how do you find it?

Thanks Ian and Derek for looking in. To answer you Derek the masts are ok to do plenty of sanding and carving just have to keep measuring and take your time. I'm sure yours will be fine when you come to them Gareth Completed models,Hachette Titanic.Deags. Hms Victory. Hachette Hems Hood.Ongoing builds.
