Set the paper to A4 or Letter, turn background graphics on so the cover photograph prints, and leave margins at their default. The page numbers and the chapter running heads are drawn by the browser into the page margins, so they exist only on paper: check the print preview rather than this screen for them, and turn Headers and footers off there so Chrome's own furniture does not crowd them out. Chrome and Edge print them, Safari and Firefox print the same book without them.

12 Sep 2026 Paint & Finish

I started this build in 2012 and had a few stop/starts. Main things I have left to do are paint all decks/cabin/cockpit and build a mast. Then finish about a thousand small jobs. Meantime I’ve started another build, see Eland 36.
