week 115, and the fun begins,some serious work to be done,and btw thank you all for the nice comments,having suffered a stroke some time back,it has laid me low while I had therapy of various things,and can now use 1 1/2 hands,and help from family I can now soldier on with the sots. for the banding on the mast,to make things easier,I used masking tape. a note here I should mention,the shrouds in my opinion are not quite right.there are no gaps to allow the canons to be used.I've decided to carry on as instructed so no gaps. karl1113 attached the following image(s): Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/

thank you all for your kind words, I will stress at this point in time, all work done so far over the last 3 months has been done by my son and wife under my instructions, bad health does have some compensations.lol. now on with the build, a tip here is to glue the lower fighting tops when the masts are in place,reason is that there is a rake on them,so glue at slight angle so they are parallel with the decks. karl1113 attached the following image(s): Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/
