So, having described the work and being satisfied with the end result myself, would I recommend this to anyone with a Mazak Rot Warship sitting around in bits? Er...............no, I'm not convinced this amount of work and frequent exasperation was worth it, I certainly wouldn't bother again but I hope it at least made for an entertaining read!

Wow!  That is really a labor of love.  Lets hope there isn't more rot in the remaining Mazak, or there is going to be more love involved! 

I have really enjoyed the discussion thus far.  A few of my Warships, later Bachy 42s...

I'm still being patient for eight plates that I ordered on 31 December, 2020.  I thought they would show when Jim announced on 3 June, via his website, that he had received a massive order of plates, and only had a hundred orders to go.  Only July 6th, I sent him a letter, in 18 point font so it would be easy to read, asking if my order has been misplaced.  The letter included a copy of our email exchange, where Jim acknowledged receipt of nearly 50 pounds, via paypal friends and family.  I still have not had a reply.  I am in the US, so mail takes a bit longer to go back and forth than in the UK, but not much.  The other UK small suppliers I order from have been posting to me inside of two weeks.
