Hi All, Another photo of landing platform with handrails done, all soldered up.The gate moveable chain I shall have to get something with smaller links to finish it off. And put in the missing ones. Other photo is a start on funnels, The mastic tubes are only about 1mm small, so I think it will pass. I,mm not sure what colours to paint base of funnels but photo's I have show it to be a dark colour, Brown or black with silver or white base. Prentice.

Looking good, and a nice idea using the mastic tubes.
The funnel bases should be brown, and the chequer plate silver maybe this will help

Thanks for photo Clark, That's a great help. Lots more detail to go in but I think i,mm on the right track. Will post photo from same position in a week or two............. Prentice.

Have now started on the engine vents. Photo shows black plasticard forms from a 1 1/2 mm sheet held over a candle until soft then useing the shaped wood formers and pressed together quickly. then cut and trimmed. the idea is from others on Paddleducks, so thank you. It works well and now need to do other sizes. They are joined to wood dowelling and filler to blend. Painted and handgrips put on. Prentice.

Great idea, the wood formers! I just used a large bead (from a cheap plastic necklace) on the end of a screw, took five or six attempts to get two useable vents... :D

 Here is my 2nd attempt at the anchor winch which I think is more in keeping with looking right. Also a tryout of my stanchions with handrails..
When I have all the fittings made for the bow area I will pin them down.I need some (a lot) of rope next. Prentice.
