My pleasure Julien. Ok back into it. The Props have now been added and I think I have added enough Rigging also. The Fore Railings have now been added along with the Leadsman's Platforms ant the Bow and the Boarding Ladder. More to come soon.....Cheers Mark

Sharp build Mark ! I was looking at this kit over at Sprue Brothers since I am reading a good bit about the S.Pacific but I have decided I have enough boat kits already.Again nice looking build looking forward to the weathering and finished product Cheers
