Mike, the railings were photo-etched. These were bought long before lazer etched card was available here! I have a bunch of rails waitin' for ships. 'Ski, the kit had a lot of extra details added to bring her up to 1/250 scale standards, but the basic kit is still pretty good. Barry, this is just a "resurrection" from a couple years past. I promised Rob some outdoor pics, maybe late but here they are. I still have to get past the birds nest tangle of rigging, between the masts, etc. And Mike, the table was just a happy co-incidence, in some pics it does look like calm water!
