| Hull Fittings The hull had some fittings that had to be made from scratch such as this part on the side for tying the ship up at dockside (I have no idea what its called). A master was made of the flat section with eight individually drilled and glued in rivets, which was then cast, glued on, holes drilled in, and a brass semi-circle glued in. |
