A simple GB, convert one thing to another - any subject, any scale, any era, any method, but ending up with a different variant, than what the bits provide for in the box.

Does Martin mean "For someone to do this they must have a total of THREE balls" or "Plus another person who agrees with that sentiment"? :ha:

It's not till I started to build the Bridge Superstructure that I realised how complex this kit is.

My cunning plan is to build the bridge and scratch build the new hanger and relocated forward funnel, then work my way aft.
