:that: Oh well. I'm redoing the cable for the crane. I didn't like where it was positioned after looking at it.

Got the starboard antennas installed. Now the hard part, not knocking them off.

Great progress. Tilly might have been a pain in the ass to build but she does add realism to the deck. Great job also with your modifications to the crane itself. That looks much better stowed properly! Congratulations!!

Impressive work so far! This is looking amazing. Well done on the crane as well.

Thanks Lyle! I got the second mast assembled and installed. That was not easy by any means. Took me all day to get it right.
