Hi Andrew.. I PM'ed to you. Thanks.

Excellent building.... I just purchased one because of you...:) My building skill level is not up to this level yet, but I hope to improve it by finishing 'onslow' and 'USS portland'...

Uh...uh..... I thought there should be a security code attached to the a specific computer. And, the code should be received from Shoki2000. How can someone print it without a security code? Interesting... Or, Tunny might use a different name when he purchased it

And ladders...

In my case, I printed in 'Letter' size paper which is a standard size in USA and the railings and ladder in the templates turned out to be exact for me. Here are the pictures for your reference... railings

When I started to build this ship, I had a chance to talk with my wife where the ship will be displayed- on the top of a piano, a fireplace or TV? Well, I wanted to reserve a place first. :) At that time, I remember what my wife said firmly: "Don't even think about it (here it means...

So, now it is time to work on 'side frame' because I have attach an anchor... A good news is that I just fixed it in 30 min like a charm !!!! Just glue the top and bottom edges.. What a great tip !!! Thanks a lot for the tip... Here comes the ship with fixed side frame...

Just a little progress today....

Railings on super structure...

I didn't have much progress except some more railings.....

The railings are not home-made. I purchased a 'laser-cut' card railings. It is made of card paper. So, I needed to enforce it with 'CA'. The ladder is also the same materials.

With railings...

I started to add railings. Woowooo.... It was not an easy work pretty much different from what I thought. Only 1/3 of railings done.. Need some break... :) Well, this is a picture just before I add railings....and the picture with railings will come next...

Hi John, I also thought it is the right way (In fact, I learned it while building this ship . :). I will keep it in mind and make a stand first next time when I build a new one. Thanks

Hi barry, Thanks for your comments. I put it just now... You can see in the above picture. I appreciate you pointing out this. I was also thinking the side former has 'seam' of frames. They become more noticeble as time goes because I was holding with my fingers most time when I work...

I finally finished the bottom before I continue... This should have done in early stage, but I was afraid a possible 'damage' during building. However, I think it could be more clean if I did it early. Now, it was hard to attach them because of 'delicate' superstructures... :)

Thanks for the encouragement ! :) I added some more details today. Here is what I have so far. As I add details, I feel like 'the ship is being alive'.....

I attached it in the ship... Looks not bad so far..... :)

I just came up this idea and tried it. Looks it is working. Here is what I did.... First I cut a piano wire at right lengths and put 'HEAT Shrink Tubes'.... And then, glued using 'CA'. Since the glue surface is kind of 'ruber', the bonding was quite strong.... Compared to old...

Thanks for quick replies. The diameter is about 1mm. I tried it with paper, but it was hard to make a roll. I will try one more time. Also, I will try all the ways you guys suggested. :) Thanks JN
