Perhaps you could put it on the table (or the floor) while adding the decks and keep it hanging on the wardrobe while storing it. I have spend some time on the floor building my model, and I had it hanging on the wall in my hallway when I wasn't building it.
Some photographs from my buildtopic are actually flipped images from my model hanging on the wall.

Ah so its not a new method of buidling at all is there a mistake in the instructions it says part twenty and 21 for the bow and stern parts to do first but the parts i think are the ones they are on about are 18 and 19

If you are referring to the deckparts, I don't know about your instructions, but the drawing on mine (at step 3) mentions the bowdeck being part 18 and the sterndeck being part 19.

But I must say I did not follow the written isntructions, I build my model using the drawings of the instructions.

well that is the two ends mostly done now its for the rest of the build. slow cutting this card but there is no race to build, still not exaclty very sturdy i suppose when the middle parts are done it will be a lot more sturdy right now it could bend pretty badly in the middle if it decided to fall down off the wardrobe door i took it down earlier today when there was a major wind anyway to prevent disaster and took up a good bit of floor space in my bedsit.

Coming along nicely. It looks a BIG model.

I think it's one of those kits that lots of people own - few dare to build it.

It sure is big, its over 54 inches, I have no started the next part. the one thing to remember is that parts 30 to 30b there is a line that is the edge of the hull already done that dotted line has to be one if you go in to be flush you will have lots and lots of problems.

I remember picking that kit up in Easons as a kid 20+ years ago, It was still longer than I was tall when I finished it, Nice to see it her too

Best of luck Doc,

John
