Hi Sam, na its ok, it's advice and a constructive option.

Rich 

HI Sam

Er sorry you total lost me :$ I just put every thing the the large plans said oh well just !!

Rich

Thanks Guys,

although Caldercraft is a great looking kit, just the cost and can't find anywhere for the size.

Contructo and Mantua seam to be almost the same yet not much smaller that Caldercraft.

so really not sure now wife does not mind much!!

Contructo

A Very Nice build you have here, keep up the great work

Rich

Hello everyone,, I have a question has anyone seen, built or building (build log??)

I'm looking at getting this kit as i cant afford the Calercraft 1:72 1805

Thanks for the advice

Rich

HI Sam Hows the build going?  and of course Work!?

Rich

Looking So Great, will watch it, as this is my next build

Rich

Well as there was no working this weekend i spent time waling the pups, few hours on the PS3 with my son and a few hours on the ship. as you see the forward mast is ready and i have started the rigging,, although i stripped it off and started  it again and the picture 073 it looks so much better and the pattern has stayed the same..

all for now

Rich 

Thanks very much Sam, Yes she coming along at a great rate of knots ..LOL..

coming together better that i ever thought...Your build is looking Fab too.. 

Rich

PS hope you like the Picture

Well been a long bank holiday here, Been busy but fun, I have managed to get build time , as you can see from the pictures Im very happy how the Bowsprit turn out, how the rest follow.

Thanks for viewing

Greeting one and all.

Been a few hours on the build this last few weeks. apart from waiting for some 7mm eye hooks from Ebay, for what ever reason I have er... missed placed a few.

I had a fun with the side fencing, I think it came out not to bad, have a little bit more cleaning it up once the glue has had several days to go off.

Hi, Sorry for the lack of work.. Build time has been slow, to be honest fed up with the cannons has to put it to one side,, Plus the normal every day life...

Well cannons are done,did  a little play and re attempt then got happy with it..

Looking Great Sam, Great Pictures

Glad your back on the build 

HI Sam, Ground to a halt, Not Touched it in a few weeks been tired and busy at work. Hoping to get a few hours soon, but the weather in the UK is better so I can get back up i the air. 

Hows you, and the back??

Rich

Well I found out the the Single Blocks do not have the right size hole drilled out so i spent a long while re drilling a 0.5mm hole. Frustrating, Even the cannons that i previously made i had to re dill, all done now. but cant to any progress until next week

Hey Shawn, Thanks very much, its ok, I want to be better Well will on the victory.  Glad works is going great, better than none,  There no race, just not good weather in the Uk to go skydiving, although it starting to improve.. 

Not done any on the build since last weekend, Working and tired my self and this coming week is very busy with an 18hour day on Tue.

Oh well,

Tc

Rich

Well had a few hours due to change of child plans  (YAY Put the flags out))

Got One of the little buggers in place, (Cannons that is) one down thirteen to go.. ​ : Very much a pain and fiddly any ideas on a simple way to do this, took just over an hour. Not that I mind, just will only get one done every few days. and was getting tiresome on the old fingers and back.

Well a nice bank holiday, and a needed extra day off, Decided to sit down and do a bit more, not want to do far to much but its taken most of the day the Cannons. oh what a joy that was, Fun was not the word i would think of.

Wont get any done this coming week have lots of thing on this week and working Saturday... Not sure if that was a good idea...

Happy Easter All,

Had time to site on PS3 and hit the Ship Build later part of the day. Got a few bit done not much but this took it time.

Little bit of painting on the Quarter Galleries and the Poop Deck door.

I have decided to leave the Name plate until the ship is complete, 

Hey Shawn, not done any work on mine this week been to tired, work as been busy my self. Hope your ok?  Hope to see the build log and work soon

Rich

HI Sam,

He still there?, OMG I Hate people that never leave..LOL... Hope you get better soon I know how you feel wife has a friend just like that...

Rich

Hi Sam Hope your not working too hard... \hows the build coming along??

Regards

Rich

Well the last week or two has not been that productive, half hour here and there. I have now put to gather all the bits going on the deck, I have been making these for a few months when I got bored with planking the hull and just wanted to do something else.

Stupid work... oh well keeps me busy and pay the bills

Rich
