Hi Wallace
You seem to be moving along well now.
A small point though with the water tanks. I have fitted a top fill and a bottom feed as per domestic practice.
You have fitted two bottom pipes as per the instructions. Was naval practice with these tanks different ?
I would be interested on any comments from anyone who knows.

Back to the funnel remove the unfix steam pipe and used nylon cord and lagged the both pipes from top to bottom I think it makes it look good.

Onto the stern platform made a few adjustments  to the drawing added a safely rail and cover the brass rail in nylon which makes it stand out.The photos were taken once again a few months ago getting the platform just right took a lot of hours but it looks good  when put all together.
