The barricade has now been painted black and I think looks better for it, the ships wheel has also be painted and made up, and the rail on the great cabin roof has been fixed on.

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 mobbsie in HMS Agamemnon by mobbsie - FINISHED - Caldercraft / Jotika - 1/64
Hi Guys,
Sorry for the long delay but affairs of state have taken precedent over the build ( Admiral said so ), but I'm back into the swing of it again and have just a small update to offer.
I am currently tying off the Mizzen, Main and Fore Mast Top Shrouds, I have put the lanyards onto the Mizzen deadeyes but not as yet tied them off, the main topmast shrouds are held by their jigs and will be tied off tomorrow also the Fore Topmast shrouds will be given the treatment.
Following that will come the Futtock Staves, Ratlines, Shroud Cleats then the Topgallant Shrouds, so still a ways to go.
Anyway a few pics to show where I'm at.
Fore topmast shrouds waiting for deadeyes
Topgallant Shrouds waiting to be fitted
So there we have it, not much since my last post, I will be picking up the pace fairly soon.
Be Good
