this is for all who moan at instructions given in the mags and other model space kits.

this is a direct quote from the del prado bounty instruction with regard to fitting blocks to the fighting tops.


eight large blocks are placed on th mainmast's crow's nest. two are placed next to the mast, two are placed a little nearer the front, two are placed at the sides and another two are placed on top of the crow's nest at the back.


note how precise all the measurements are, there is a reference to a picture, and the so called rigging diagram, which again has no measurements and is not in any way to scale.

so next time you think the instructions don't give enough information, think how lucky you are to be able to ask for help straight away, not 10 years laterBigGrin
