Hi there, thanks SteamboatPhil, some more of the build, the frame which stands behind the w-house for stabilizer arms ( I won't be putting those on) it also has the mast stays attached to it. The brass  hoarser pipes and plating for both anchors, the lift out mast and boom, and with the front rope hoarsers made those from .357 mag shells and copper plating,,,cheers. :-)) ......

Hi there, Next the brass hand railing for the raise deck area and aft section of the w-house. The inside of the bulwarks , deck and outside of the vessel had 2 coats of gloss. The base for the stand is from a section of Camphor cut from a fallen limb, then she had her bottom sprayed in the climate controlled spraying booth  O0 . Showing the w-house all done and dusted, and the start of installing the running gear she will spin 2 x 90 mm 4 blade Roboesch props, cheers.... :-)) .
