If anyone would like any other photos of a specific area please ask and I will post them.

 

And now it's on to my next build the Pickle    (hope to make a start on the weekend)

[Captain Slog]

Very nice Jeff, you should be very proud.

 

Looking forward to following your Pickle build.

 

I used to keep track of the time spent on my build, which I would record the date, what was done and for how long.  Kept it up religiously until my computer detonated and lost it all including early build photos so don't bother now, but will again for my next build (and back up more!)

 

Cheers

Very nicely done. The ensign is incorrect. The pre-1801 ensign lacked the cross of St Patrick (see http://www.mrflag.com/p/4764/UK_Red_Ensign_Pre_1801__Budget_.html).

 

Good luck,

Great job Jeff .

 

Mike's right, the kit supplied ensign is wrong. Check out mine:

 

 

If you really want to change it I suggest you use Silkspan for a new one. You can print one on it with your computer printer, and it looks a lot more realistic than any bought version.

Hi All,

 

Brian, now you mention it the flag dosn't look that good  

 

Slog thankyou for your kind comments   . I also started my time log on the computer and it died part way through the build and while it was away getting fixed I did not keep up the log. I only restarted it after I started building again these last 5months

 

Mike thankyou for your kind comments and the link I did not realise the flag was incorrect. I will see if I can get one locally

 

Danny thankyou  for your kind words and advice. Two questions what is Silkspan? and where would I get it?  

[Dan Vadas]

Hi Jeff,

 

Silkspan is used by Aircraft modellers and should be available from your local Hobby Shop (if it's a half-decent one). If not, try Frontline Hobbies in Newcastle - they'll mail you a sheet - costs about $7.00 plus freight. That's enough to last you a lifetime .

Thank you Danny and Brian for your quick response

Hi Jeff,

 

Thank you very much for such an informative and well written Build Log!

 

I also think your Norfolk looks just fantastic and is a true inspiration to other Norfolk builders.  Thank you again!
