One more step

 Over the last week or so its been lifeboat time (making, not using).

In keeping with the rest of the build, they were whittled out of balsa with some card details. I didn't take any pictures during the building so you will all have to make do with some pre and post instalation shots.

 

I've had a bit of a hunt for some brass (or indeed any) wire of the right diameter for the derricks, but it looks like I'll need to have another trip to the local model shop for more supplies.
