Hi Aop,
Haha! Thank you so much to you and your friends! :thanks: :wave_1:
So, just out of interest, do you have the same kind of Popsicle sticks in your ice-creams in Thailand?
Good luck to you and Aur for your performances! Hope all goes well.
Cheers,
Phil

Hi Callum,
Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. I've been recovering from an injury but I might be able to get back into it again soon. In fact, I think it would be good physio, haha! Or at least therapeutic! :heh: :heh:
Cheers,

Hi All,

Happy New Year to everyone!

I've spray painted an undercoat on the ship. It helps to highlight all the flaws, bumps, cracks and other marks which I will try to fill or mask later.

Currently I'm working on the forward mast and the ASMD mast.

The top part of the mast didn't look right, the plans seem to have the post narrower than actual photos, so I widened the post.

ASMD Mast

I've given them a first undercoat and sat them on the ship to see what they look like. I have some more sanding and undercoating to do yet though and there is more detail to add to each mast.
