Midnight Oil
Thanks Sebret, it's great to be back into it.
No, I don't cover the Arizona. I've been blessed with a very clean ventilation system in my house. I keep good filters in the system, and I don't have much dust problem in my modeling room. I will hit the deck with a shot of compressed air (keyboard cleaner) from time to time, but I've never had to put a dust brush or rag on it. Just fortunate, I guess.
After a couple nights of burning the midnight oil, I have the second (starboard) boom in place. I had a bit of a time getting both booms set to the same visual level, but with some patience and adjustable string I was able to glue this boom in place to match the relative level of the other.
I've still got to tinker with the cables and blocks/hooks, but these are essentially finished. I think I will move on to the shields and 5" deck guns on the weather deck now. Yippee! bounce7
