Seem to have made little progress of late but I have been filling and sanding for what seems the entire Spring! I have sprayed the Deck, Bulwarks and just finished installing the Bulwark Supports, gosh what a job but done now. Not all perfect but …………….  I did make up a little cheat though, just a glued down Peg to help position each Support vertically and it has worked reasonably well, compensates for my wobbly hands  :-)) Next job is to start on the superstructure. By the way can anyone recommend some suitable 1:32 scale figures to 'man' Al Khubar when finished?

There is a wide range of 1/32 figures available on e-bay, but most are military and nearly all would need some modification to fit your model.  If price is no object, you could try browsing around here.  They will probably fit the bill but you might need a mortgage to fully crew the ship!

That's a clever idea!
