Amazing Antony. All the joints look to be spot on which is no mean feat taking those curves into account, well done mate :)

Yes planking the hull seems to take forever ,  nice neat job

Very nice deck.

Personally I would not use a satin finish.

Generally in models, it is better to finish more matt than in real life.

But it's your build and totally your decision

Looks great with the poly on

Makes you wonder why they don't use a solid piece there instead of ply

Nice neat work as usual Robert and a good job putting the curve in the counter pattern. that piece is very fragile when it's wet :)

Hi Elijah try this stuff. It ships from Hong Kong but if you don't want to wait too long for it try your local car accessory dealer for 3mm pinstriping tape

Looking good

Thanks Bryan

Hi Bryan

             Looks really nice :)

Very nice build. I will be referencing it when i do mine :)

The amount of work involved on a solid hull kit is a lot more involved than I thought. You have done a great job on it

Making great progress

Hi

    I will be starting on this kit soon too

Good luck with your build :)   

Hi Mikeymo

                 I am going to be starting the same kit soon looks like it will be a good build once i change the cannons :)

Good luck with yours

I have always said if you want accuracy don't buy a kit lol

This is one of the downsides of Internet or mail order buying. They have your money before you can check it out and if you decide to return it then you end up paying the cost of returning it. Kits were much better when you could walk into a local shop and look before you buy, unfortunately the local model shops are now few and far between

Always annoys me when manufacturers scrimp on parts . I would rather have to pay a bit extra for the kit and have a complete one, rather than having to order parts at additional cost and more postage.

The cannons look good in place and when you make the adjustments they will look great :)

Thanks for the likes.

It's easy working from drawings. Pictures are a little more to the imagination and resurch.

The fact is no one knows the true details of the ship. Some evidence comes from ship wrecks that have been found. And scriptures that reference the turtle ship.

So it's my imagination that provides the rest of the jigsaw.

 

Thanks again.

Regards Antony.

That makes it even more special because once finished there won't be another one like it :)

Brilliant, you make working from pictures look easy, although i am sure it's not easy

The wood for the benches contrast nicely against the other two woods you have used

Nice and neat as usual

Hi Per

This will make a nice change from sail boats.

There are 1/10 scale engines available, but they are silly prices i googled 1/10 scale engine and got a load of them

Nice lines on the hull Elijah

I always thought if you bought a solid hull kit that the hull would be ready to build on, but not in this case it seems. Good job with all that sanding

Just a quick update because i have not posted for a while.

My son saw what i was building and asked me to do one for the grandson, so i got another kit and i am going to build them both side by side but i will only post updates of one of them (the best one haha :D ). So for a few days i am building the second one up to the same place as i am at with the first one, once i catch up i will start posting more of the progress.
