and i had some success with the bowsprit.
i re-did the pins with the axle from the corvair, much stronger. i have'nt glued it in, it's just hanging on the pin, and the lines are reasonably tight. the hunk of white is just a piece of styrene, spacer. once the short one goes in, it's actually the main one, all the lines tigfhten up nicely. i'll prob just have to extend the black a little further.....cant match that brown...
