DISASTER! The shelf that it was on collapsed destroying the bowsprit and the front end plus the tops of the fore and main masts and i am left with a pile of bits to sort out the masts are sorted.

So i can have the opotunity to do a better job.

Yeah, bummer that it got damaged Peter, it was looking really good. I'm sure you'll get it patched up and sorted.
