cobra1951 got a reaction from Canute in Posto di Combattimento by bryanc - Panart - 1:23 - Battle Station
That's the reason i made my own Bryan, they looked a bit over the top to me but that's just my opinion

Nice rescue on the outer hull. Strange that you ran out of wood there as I had almost two complete planks left over from each of mine.

Exactly what I was thinking :)

Looking down the length of the ship those rails look nice and straight

Can you imagine trying to get a modellers carpet through an airport check

I know the problem with magnification. It gets very disorientating when you work under a magnifying glass

That is one delicate bit of construction, must be scary touching it to work on it

Hi Dave
Yes I there is room for the rudder etc. I think the construction of yours and mine will be different as they are from different manufacturers. Mine called for two strengthening pieces to be fitted either side of the keel at the stern end. Then they tell you to file out the space in between the strengtheners. I did it differently be cutting the piece out of the keel then fitting the strengtheners with the appropriate gap in between them. Awkward as most of the stern is built before it's mentioned.
You can just see the slot in between the two center strengthening pieces in the center of where the transom will be

Looks great Bryan nice tidy build so far. As for the tree nails they look good and as you say they need to be seen to give a better planking effect.
If you build the canons don't follow the sizes for the wedge assembly part, if you do the cannons will only have a downward trajectory.
Mr Pucko tipped me off about it when i was doing mine, I showed what i did in my log,

Paul is correct about the wood quantity there is enough. When I did 2 of them I tried both ways the longer one like you are doing looked the best to me

Nice neat start Bryan looks good
You are right about the top beams best to sand the paint off now because it will help in gluing the top deck planks.

You are correct your mind is intact
The benches are two planks wide but if you recall the drawings on the plan show the table 4 planks wide and the one in the booklet shows it to be 5 planks wide, i went with 4 as per the plan drawing
I used one of the pictures on the box and took my height and length measurments for the table relative to the size of the cannon and made the benches half the height of the table

Be careful with the plans and the booklet, in some instances they give different measurements for some parts worse still sometimes there are no measurements at all, the table and benches are an example of that, so refer to both and use the build itself to work out which is best for you.

Ah, yes. I understand. My mistake. I'm tired and can't even explain what I was thinking....
Just disregard my comment. Not the looking great bit though...

It would certainly take a few tries but then maybe they could find all my missing pieces and parts....
A few years back I had flown back out to California to visit a buddy from the Navy. We were going to do some serious work on his model railroad and so I packed up a tool box with all the model tools I thought I would need. A few days before my trip the admiral asks if I thought I could actually get all those sharp objects to pass security. I stopped and looked at the dozens of knives, carving tools, spare blades, sharpeners, wire cutters, pliers etc. and thought nope. That box went overnight on Fedex as I figured I would end up spending some time in a white interrogation room with all that hardware.
