That entry port looks amazing, nice job. I think it fits well with the rest of the ships design and deserves to be there even if it was or was not on the original ship :)

Looks great Mr Pucko

The eyes on your knight and lion look a lot more realistic now too

Looks great Don, those little details really ad to the build

Nice as usual Frank

You're building it faster than i can read about it

Nice looking kit, with an interesting and nice shape to it

Make stealers with wet wood and use lots of small passes with the blade not one big cut. The wet wood will help prevent the blade from trying to follow the grain

Make your own sanding sticks, for small ones take some 2mm x 2mm wood strips glue a few together then use double sided tape to fix sandpaper to them. You can make all sizes and shapes to suit your job

Coming along nicely i like it

Well now you have regained the inclination to build don't lose it again anytime soon :)

White was a good choice Frank, blends in nicely with the choice of wood colours

Now slow down you're making me dizzy :D

Wow you are going fast Frank   and still doing a great job

Nice job, looks like a fun little build

Nice job on the shrouds Frank

Looking forward to seeing how the bow area embellishments turn out

Cheers Bob, yep this build is really getting me hooked on wood ships, (even have the Pickle to do now).
 

Yes wood is so much better to work with than plastic especially if adding things that are not on the original kit

Looks fantastic there  :)

Great job EJ. Must be tiresome making them especially at that scale

A great job you have done Frank. Nice to see you continuing this log :)

Coming together nicely, now you can see it's a ship

Nice work on the stern decoration

I think it's a Seahorse

i think i would have that manic stare too if i had to pose like that naked

Always nice to reach a target

Very nice

Well they will have to be something really special. Just had another look at the contents of mine and as you pointed out there are not enough cannon balls supplied, mine are the same but mine look like they have been fired once or twice already

I agree Bryan. The kit looks great but let down by shoddy materials and useless manual. It's not even that the instructions have been made useless in the translation of them, because it's just pictures and numbers mostly and bad measurements and in some case no measurements. Having gone through the manual and parts on mine i honestly cannot get the urge to build it yet.

Excellent little build, well done

Ok, I'll go along with the frames as they are. just me getting picky with age I guess 

 

Thanks all for input.

I don't think it is being picky. It looks like all the frame 6's are like this so i am sure you are not the first to bring the matter up with the manufacturers. If they have prior notice that there is a problem they should either fix it or at least add a note to the instructions to let the builder know an adjustment is needed. remember we pay good money for these kits especially part works and they should be respectful of that. (I can dream i suppose)
