    Sorry mistake
    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

              Thanks Chris, I think you are right the post is taking so long these days I will need to get on to it. The round edges came with a lot of patience and a lot of super glue on my fingers lol

                  well Andrew my tiger is nr 8ft long so standin it on end the bow is way above you thats why i did it in two bits to make it manageable but Garrys 6 ft I/D is just manageable in one bit but it will take two people to lift her so nothing is broken off her

                    I have made some progress on the rear mast on the hanger section. Still some tidying up to do though.

                        That's the plan Chris.

                          Further progress on the main mast section, added some lights and the motor for the radar.
                          Now that some of the fittings have arrived from Fleetscale, I was able to stick on a WT door and the Type 996 radar.
