mobbsie Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share #519 Posted August 12, 2013 Hi Guys, Thanks for the comments and kind words guys, they really do act as a spur. I have a bit more progress to show. Since my last post I have attached the Poop deck and planked it, made and fitted the skylight, cavel cleats, mizzen bit, Poop deck railings and added the ringbolts and cleats. A first for me is the hammock netting on the Poop deck railing, I'm quite pleased with the way it's come out but it played holy hell with my eyes, I only have another 6 long ones to make, hope I can do them justice. I might need treatment after their made. I have a few pics, need to satisfy you know who:- So there we have it, right up to date. mobbsie popeye the sailor, hamilton, Script and 8 others 11 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the rest of the netting, may the become as beautiful as the first. Anja mobbsie 1 Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

mobbsie Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share #535 Posted August 17, 2013 Hi Guys, Thank you all for looking in and the very kind comments and remarks you've made, very much appreciated. I have made a little progress since my last post, I continued with the hammock nettings and have completed them which is what I'm going to post now. I dedicate these pictures to my good friend Sjors ( you know how demanding he can be ), get well soon mate, rest up and take whatever Anja gives you. Sorry about the quality. So that's all there is for now, I'm currently working on the stern decorations, the manual calls for yellow ochre for everything, but you know me, I want some colour so am doing my own thing. mobbsie tkay11, mtaylor, augie and 7 others 10 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
