Ray got a reaction from Mirabell61 in HMS Diana 1794 by Ray - FINISHED - Caldercraft - A 38 gun Heavy Frigate
The Diana figure head has now been painted and in place but not permently fixed, and the fore deck guns have had the rigging started.
The bow pin rail has also been added although this was remade as the one with the kit could not have the holes opened out to allow the pins to fit.

Again mainly a photo update.
The Quater deck is now completed just a paint touch up on some of the eye bolts and rigging hooks, next the fore deck.

Hi Guys thanks for the many ticks.
Timmo I have been working on the black plank edge and it is now ok-ish the deck cross beam will need a light sanding, although it looks much better in natural light than in the photo.
The timber-heads have now been added to the fore deck rails, they have been positioned to allow the last two carriage guns to be used as bow chasers, in two positions, I will rig them in the most forward firing position, the last to caronades will be set in a standard position.

Ray reacted to Holty in Lady Nelson by Holty - Amati/Victory Models - Scale 1:64
I got hold of some Milliput and have filled the gap for the Bowsprit, I haven't got round to sanding it down and blending it back in yet. The epoxy is really good stuff, well worth having that in the drawer.
So I have done some work on the channels, chain stays and Dead eyes. They did not present too much trouble with the aid of tweezers. I have yet to paint them and pin them in to the Wale. Really pleased with them, they serve as a nice little focal point to move eyes away from my muddy wood staining. I am in two minds about running some thin walnut paint over the hull to brighten it although I would probably end up making it worse
