Heres a picture of the portholes. World of Wayne is a great resource for this build. I do have surgical gloves and weathering powder if I choose to make the blast bags.

I confess - you're right - I wont let him touch it with a ten foot pole. Im having too much fun. i think pack 3 arrives any day. Great tip to simulate portholes - use a black 2mm sharpie followed up with Mirco Crystal Clear - nice effect to simulate glass.

Here's the front turret and anchors in action after being wired. This is just test of the motors- sound chip will be added later and fuller range of motion for the anchors.

This will be one long beast - already 12 inches long at the first turret. Next I need to wire the electonrics on the front turret. I am not going to sweat the small paint chipping - no one will notice as she grows. Notice I have to use a paint bottle to hold down the deck because of all of the motors mounted in the rear until I permantently install it.

The fun continues ! Next stages are mostly concerned with gears and motors to work foremost turret - "Anton" and the anchors. Shes going to be large and heavy. A little bit bummed about some metal showing where the hull parts are screwed together - I could always use some weather powders or touch ups if needed.

This is a FUN build - here are the results of the first 8 installments. Each chapter is maybe 30 minutes a piece work time which works great for me and the family. The turret works electronically, the bow is solid metal and very heavy and here are my tools (much different than a wooden ship build) - God Hands - they cut plastic parts perfectly off the sprue, tweezers, screwdrivers and CA. I have 9-18 next - more electronics and a growing hull. Ill be back at my wooden ships later but for now a nice diversion - and have pretty much taken over for my son on this one for now. Im teaching him model building on some Airfix 1/72 airplanes which are disposable.

ChrisLBren reacted to rlb in US Brig Oneida 1809 by rlb - The Lumberyard - 1:48 scale - POF - Lake Ontario Warship
Thanks, Dan. Great. Now I have to carve Ens. Cooper.
Backstay deadeyes and chains are installed. They were much easier than the shroud chains--only one bolt to locate and drill--
The chains will get some tweaking at some point to make them to present a bit straighter, but I'm very happy to have this behind me. So, to celebrate, a few overalls of Oneida--
Next up, installing the carronades. For which I need to strop many small blocks.

Do a little bit every day to make sure I'm making progress. Some words and sentences have to be looked up by translation software to be understood because the English descriptions on the pictures are difficult to read. And I'm used to using MM units, each of which needs to be converted and double checked. Slow down. Strive to achieve every detail can meet the requirements of the drawings. Thank you for your attention.
