Thanks Mike. Having made more progress inspired me to keep up my momentum so... Last night I stayed up *way too* late and today I successfully ignored other things that I ought to have been doing so that I could work on the model.

I was happily able to complete and install the smaller of the two masts.

But, unfortunately, that's not the end of today's story. After I took these photos, I was turning around and the model slipped out of my hand, flipped over, and landed upside down! Needless to say the mast that I just finished, as well as the masts on the forecastle were smashed and the railings crumpled. Other railings on the superstructure were crumpled as well. To say that I'm disappointed is a huge understatement. I'm very tempted to bin the entire project and be done with it. Time to pour myself a glass (or two) of my favorite IPA.

Cheers, Corbin

Beautiful, Have lots of ipa's.

A side thought, can't figure out why they would place the mast behind the exhaust gas. Can't imagine servicing it while underway. Poor design for obvious reasons to me.

Hi Corbin

the gap is sometimes normal, I also have gaps in finish some ships becaus of other reasons. For example we developed the SMS Wiesbaden/Frankfurt an so I have a gap to finish my HMS Najad
But it is nice to see your EGV growing.
Be careful the EGV is sold out.....
