Hi, Can anyone point me in the right direction to a post on here showing a scratch built binnacle? I'm on issue 87 now and its time to build and install this but Id really like to improve it.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Stevie-O

You can go to posts number 77 and 80 on my Upgrading the 1/100 DelPrado Victory where I scratch built my binnacle, its only 1/2 the size that yours would be but the construction would be very similar.

Best of Luck

Thankyou for the replies Mike & Robin, after much thought I think I will try to make a binnacle using the method described by you (Robin) - this was in fact the one I remember seeing but just couldn't find it again. Thanks again both anywayBigGrin
