Are those standard wall cupboard doors by any chance?

Shelves Mike :smiling3:

Looking good Brian. Critical that all this early work is absolutely square to avoid issues later.

Thanks Jim. all checked with my engineering square. Its very good quality, there is no play whatsoever

Thats coming on nicely Brian. An interesting build thread. Keep it coming.

[Bri62]

Quiet day so went back to the model room for a dabble things will slow down I'm sure, I won't get away with things around the house SWMBO has her eye on me :smiling3:



Blacked out the gun ports far easier now than later started with a brush but got the AB out for speed

Looks great so far and as said, super organised!

One question - it's huge, will it fit through the door once it's finished or will you have to knock a wall down? :smiling5:

[Jim R]

Looking good. It all looks to have slotted together nice and square. Did it need much fettling? I notice the extra brackets fitted to hold the thing upright - wise move there :thumb2:

[Bri62]

Did it need much fettling?

No Jim, was a excellent fit the only bit of work required was the bowsprite was too tight and wouldn't go all the way home (sorted)
