Hello guys and thanks for your responses, yes I have seen these, and there were also 3 good photos that came with the kit, but I was a little confused due to the many variatons I've seen. I also want to add a flag but was not sure how it should be rigged, this is my first model and was hoping to find some pics or a layout that more clearly showed both top and bottom fixings of a complete rigging format - does this make sense? - not easy to photograph I would imagine.
A good time to exercise some poetic licence now me thinks - and maybe even stick the flag on a pole!
Anyway you're right Geoff, it is a good build review of Ivor's - and have taken a lot of inspiration and guidance from it, In fact it was he brought my attention to the mast stays that aren't shown, however it's a cracking kit with a really good instruction and drawing package, am well pleased with it, Just hope I can obtain a finish that will do it justice.
