Aha!
Brittle plastic requires a gentle hand and a very sharp X-Acto Number 11 blade drawn backwards along the edge where the inside of the rail joins the deck. The whole deal is not to get in a hurry! DO NOT use sprue cutters anywhere you would do this to remove a molded part from any of the ship’s structure. I repeat the above instructions.
where i am now…
yep - very brittle… in dry fitting king posts, 1 or 2 of the pegs broke off in the holes. also, the decks did not fit well and it seemed as if all the rail posts between the decks were different lengths. kinda lost my patience on 2 and 3 level and cut some short… also missing the boom supports that go on the 2 booms on the forward house.
Looks nice. Can’t wait to see it all finished.
