    Agreed. But what a remarkable demonstration of cramming 20 lbs. of stuff into a 10 lbs. vessel. Turning a WISKY into a missile slinger. Russian's are nuts!

    Replaced the 2mm diameter safety tracks on the bow with 1mm rods to a more realistic measure. Also made the ladder-like gangway on the sail some mm narrower and put it to the right, where it should be instad of along the centerline.

    Soldering directly on the model with a fine hot tip at 450 degr.C was much easier than expected.again, figuring out where those struts go was the bigger effort... the fore, much shorter ones will be dummys from abs rod,glued on the hull.

    Test fit with ABS-rod. Ordered a proper 0,5mm braided stainless steel cable for the real job. On to the next 20+ posts...

    Made a small jig to drill centric 1mm holes into the 2mm posts. Ordered thin brass wire, will try abs and otherwise solder the brass wire in case abs won't look nice...

    Greetings! Today i started constructing the forward deck reling. Nothing special here, soldering two v-shaped posts BUT again lots of research in photo reference to determine the right position. Not sure yet what i will be using to represent the handrail, 1mm brass rod/ stainless steel wire/ABS rod.

    The posts are from 2mm brass rod. Everything on the external details is slightly thicker than scale, since i want to have all of it in good shape when i surface back again in one of our local lakes...
