I must say I'm pleased with how its come out of the mould. It's very light & strong, also it will not increase top weight, another plus for doing it that way.
A freind has asked if I could post pictures of how I make the davits, so here's some and a simple step by step.
1. I use 20 thou ABS plastic. The davits shape is a photo copy taken from the plan.
2. The copy transfused to is the ABS and stuck down using Pritstick.
3. Cut to shape
4. Once this is cleaned up , I use EverGreen strip to make the "H"beam web,s
5. Next I'll add detail.
