Been absent from the Surprise for a couple of weeks but back again...Ready to fit the bow Gunwale covers but the ones supplied didn't come close to fitting, my fault I think probably didn't get the shape right in the beginning, and the port & starboard sides are slightly different.  Anyway with Santa arriving early again this year and bringing me a Dremel Moto saw cutting out new covers to fit the whole bow section was a breeze.  BarryM attached the following image(s): There's no time like the present.....

Neat work Barry. That dremel is a nice tool. I picked one up myself last year. Especially liked the way it stores away in its own case. Hope the rest of you build goes well. Happy Modelling
