    looking great, I visited the real thing yesterday and have taken lots of pics of the top deck (over 350). but the current deck is teak for longevity. the original deck was fir.

    I am looking to build a Bounty kit but was wondering what the general view was on which is the best kit currently. The billings kit looks old with lots of plastic peoples thoughts? Jase

    The way to work out your tapering is to measure your gap at the widest point (usually in the centre rib) then measure your gap at each end. Calculate how many strips you need to cover the widest point of the gap then calculate how much you need to reduce the width of each plank by so that they all fit in the gap when sanded to a taper. You probably should have put a stealer or two in. This might help you http://www.shipmodeling.ca/aa115p.html

    A really good walk through. One suggestion from me you replace the tissue with 8000 and 12000 micro-mesh Jase

    Interesting build. I have not seen so much built up on the deck before it is removed from the sprue before. Jase

    from the pictures the CCV kits look a bit rough around the edges. you can see laser cut and ply edge on the finished models. shame because the subject matter is great

    Hi Nigel, I have started backing all my images up in the 'cloud' just in case I have an IT catastrophie. good idea to have them in more than one place, I use photobucket but there are plenty of similer sites. Still love this build. Jase

    I have to agree Proxxon are far superior tools to Dremmel

    Looking for some suggestions please. I have my first two wood ships under construction at the moment the DeAgostini Victory and the San Francisco II. I have the Billings HMS Warrior on its way but I am looking for a good quality kit do in-between which will allow me to practice things like corking the deck so I can do the best job possible on the Warrior. Any suggestions on a good practice kit? Jase
