    As far as I remember, this is your first negative issue Brian. Not too much of an issue though I hope!! The build is truly a thing of beauty. Some amazing work.

          Was hoping to get the conning tower/sail done today but I managed to break a grabrail getting it off the sprue fixed it as best I can do, but will need to go off properly before I go poking again

                              The finish on that conning tower has a subtle realism to it Brian. Modeling of the highest standard mate.
