Hi There,

I've been following your posts for some time, I've been very impressed with the work you're doing on these ships. May I ask, are you building from scratch or are you using some sort of kit to get you started? It's obvious if it's a kid that you are certainly doing a lot of handcrafted work to upgrade it, but if you're doing this all from scratch, wow I am impressed!

Hey there James! Thank you for asking. All the design and construction from scratch and by hand. No kits 😎

Was hoping to finish the head rails before the weekend, but alas ... one more to go to the cathead support bracket. It is what it is. Have a nice weekend everyone!
