    Greetings one and all. Not much been happening. Got a bit fed up with repetitive work on gun lids. so instead of making a balls up, I put her to one side.. Anyway, I have pick up the manual once more. Before I stopped i Planked half the poop deck then run out of wood. I now have finished this but as the Great British Weather the sun has bleached the first half... OOPS..... No I now have to wait to see what happens, not much i can do now any way.. I have Lidded the Starboard side, All lids are open apart from the 1 or 2 at the bow. all done .. the Port side on the other hand... Right or wrong (not changing Starboard side) The Lower Gun deck lids will be closed and the rest will stay open... if the case that will happen I could turn the ship around for a different look.... thanks the plan any thoughts?

    Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. After a very long week, I found time this weekend to spend a day on the build. So I started to poop deck planking.... finished port side. (tea Break)... Gone to start the Starboard side...... NOT enough wood strips left.. WHAT!!.. Oh well. place a 2nd order with CMB. as My last order for wood glue, paint just arrived, Now place and pay for two delivers. Now the Paint has arrived, I can do a few touch ups I moved on as I had build time. so I started on the Main Channel Plates. I remember a Post and question from someone else (sorry forgot who) On the Channel Plates, I filed one corner ( always the same side) the the bit that sticks out on the Dead eye strops.Was soldered together, to stop coming apart. I also filed a angle on this, - mainly to stop this from slipping out at a tension stage. All for now. Cheers

    Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. Thanks for that Sam, I found a few videos. (Video On Stopping Blocks) Before I found the Video, I used 0.25mm copper wire and made hooks etc. then with the use of silver solder and flux, soldered the ends, ill paint the seen soldered parts. I am missing a picture, of the between these, Ill make and take a new picture and add later. Just need to add the coil of rope at the end. not chose how that will look yet. cheers

    Hello Everyone. I hope everyone had a great Xmas and New Year? Well its time to go back to the build. I'll fire this of with a question.!. Cannons and the rigging. Blocks, I know its a double and single. But does anyone know how to attach the hook etc. as these are more visible than the lower deck and I'm really not over happy with them.. I cant seem to find any info. Cheers

David Thanks again for you advice. soon as i have finished this coffee im going to head to the dry dock 10, and crack that whip out. Nick, being dyslexic, I at times find it hard to follow the Text instructions at times, I highlight some bits. etc But im ok if there is some pictures/drawing to back up, What i have trying to do, is mach on the plans what the part numbers are, then ( take look at other build logs) just to make sure its right, .. But also doing it my way to the best i can!.. I m going to work on this then, there is a holiday for a few weeks while I have 5 day course to do , and not looking forward to it !
