      Some of these details are missing in my Imai Constipation like the stove pipe.

      Cheers,

          I am finally back to where I started everything painted and looking fresh so it's now on the rest of the build there are a few things missing I will either try and bodge build (sorry scratch) them or just leave them out. Click image for larger version

            Very good progress Pete. Very neat and tidy work. Should be more interesting for you now the refurbishment stage is over.

                              Now that the main build is finished it's time to start the rigging and here is the first part and what it looks like when done ready to be installed on the ship.
                              And I have to do two for the fore mast and two for the main mast. Click image for larger version

                                Looking very nice Peter.

                                I have this same scale 'Constitution' 1/96, still in a box under the bed.

                                I will watch your build closely to the end, before I knock the dust off mine! Forearmed is forewarned, and all that stuff!.......

                                Cheers.
