Looks good Timmo, and it does make the carved work stand out, like the wood colouring. Cheers, B.E. -
Impressive work Matti, particularly as it is your first pob build, and a bb kit to boot, not the easiest kits, I know - I built Norske Love. You have created a fine log for the build of Vasa, and I love your colour toning, another great build I now have to follow to the detriment of geting on with my own stuff. Cheers, B.E.

Glad you like it Jason, your comments are much appreciated. I see your avatar is of Olympia a kit I have in waiting. Had a peek at your builds and will return to savour them. Thank you for the f/b link - I have been gathering info on her for some time in anticipation of my build, and have added it to my f/b page. Cheers Frank, nice to hear from you again. Thanks for looking in Matti, and for your kind words, interesting build of Vasa you have there, I'm off for a closer look. Cheers Guys, B.E.

A nice bit of scratching there hamilton, the decks are gaining interest as all the fitting are put into place. It is worth repeating this is a small ship at only 1:100 scale, not easy making convincing fittings at that size. Cheers, B.E.

Looking good both inboard and outboard Jason, nice run of carronades along the deck. Cheers, B.E.

Great deck planking job Ray, I wish had gone the extra mile on Pegasus with the top and butt. B.E.

Impressive looking boats Richard, I left the larger one off my build because I couldn't for the life of me see how they could manhandle it on and off of Pickle between the rigging. they look good insitu tho' B.E.

I don't think we can have enough photos of your sweet little cutter Kester, they're a pleasure to look at. Good narrative of your build as well. B.E.

She looks beautiful Chris, wonderful effort. B.E.

Such a wonderfully attractive model IIhan, your skill and attention to detail shine through. A pleasure to see. B.E.

Nice work on the blocks Grant, I envy your dedication and skill; for me all I can say is thank God for Chuck B.E.

Hi Mark. I find it easier to appreciate your work by downloading the pics, rotating them to the right way up, and enlarging; I have to say she looks impressive, well done. I wish you success in your ebony trials, having the natural contrasts of different timbers is one of the beauties of such models. Regards, B.E.

This is my wire supplier. http://www.wires.co.uk/acatalog/cu_bare.html B.E.

For me it comes down to scale and authenticity. For small scales 1:150 I have used brass etched eyelets for the Stirrups and line for the horses, although fine wire would do just as well. For larger scales I prefer to use stiffened line for the stirrups and line also for the horses. I have just reviewed my method of footrope rigging on my Pegasus build (1:64 scale) which may be of some interest to you. Starting on p28 here's the link. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/332-hms-pegasus-by-blue-ensign-victory-models-enhancing-the-kit-a-build-log-of-sorts/page-28 B.E.

Like the pics hamilton, she's looking very good; Nice bit of scratch building, an achievement at only 1:100 scale. Cheers, B.E.

Very nice detail work Michael, I can imagine a great sense of satisfaction having working rigging. Regards, B.E.

HMS Royal William by kay
Blue Ensign replied to kay's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Beautiful build Kay, of a beautiful ship, your carving and ornamentation is impressive. I look forward to further developments. Regards, B.E. -
Nice work Andy, it's interesting to see the relative look of the served lines against the non served lines. I've had a concern that they may look out of scale but from your photos they look just fine. B.E.

Nicely done Nils, and individual nailing of the straps, I'm impressed, mine were just stuck on. B.E.

I just love it Kester, a model with enormous appeal for me. That's a sweet looking little cutter she's carrying. Regards, B.E.
