hello lads thanks for the greetings ,sparks i have been working on a 3 foot long victory for the last 5 years with a twist i have aquired some oak and copper from the actual victory so all the decks are planked with victories timber and the copper i have is from the hull coating but with my health problems i have to stop for long periods of time as my hands shake badly when doing detail work and i know what you mean about the rigging lol
