  1. HI all,

    I have added the Wales (Pic to follow), over the last few days which I found at time hard, well the lineament of the first one, I have how ever, Stand up and say i made a mistake, I used 1x4mm for the upper Wales, For what ever reason I had read it but the time i came to them forgot it should be 1x3.5mm,, So this had to be cut out and re done.  Im happy with it now. 

     

    I now need to start lining the lower gun ports.. Not a task I'm looking forward to....

  2. HI All, Sorry about the lack of updates, Thank you all for a stopping by looking commenting and/or liking, Very much appreciated.;

     

    I have planking the upper deck  ( not yet at a stage im happy with, needed sanding and  weathering

     

     I have planked up the starboard side above the gun ports im now happy with it, I put the inner patterns in with a strip of 1x4mm in to give my edge, the cannons  fit very nice like this, i still dont understand why the patterns are out...

     

    Ill up date soon,

  3. HI everyone, 

    Haven't really done any thing been far to busy at work at the moment to to any work in the Ship Yard No 10,

     

    I have played with my sander and cutting 85mm planks for the deck. 

     

    I hope to start planking the deck for the inner gun ports. I'm doing this now before the inner pattens as i'm not happy at the hight of a gun pattens

     

    Right off to work.

  4. Hello All, Well even though i brought a new toy, Hid it from the wife....I have told wife now, as there is a few other toys in the catalogue.. She paid for dinner and I never slept on the sofa :)..

  5. Well that was a nice coffee, Yep 1x10mm I have ordered more, Just waiting for them now from CWM ,been looking over what i have done, not sure if I like how the gun ports have come out, I may Prime the wood, and see who it looks after. Still having fun, I either work on the ship or not depending if i'm tired from work etc

     

    Schnu, Im also glad i have not been using the wrong size, but you know when just have that feeling something is wrong.

    Kevin, Thanks, Ill have a look at yours in a bit. once i have cleaned up after dinner..

  6. Hello All Thought I would sit down tonight and post and update from the No 10 Ship yard,

     

    Thank you all for comments and likes, very appreciated.

     

    I have installed the rework of the inner gun port (one side, atm) and lined the gun ports and slowly working my way up with the 2nd layer of planking,

     

    I have decided to line the rest of the gun ports just to break up the build for now. I also have noticed that i need to cut out 2 gun ports on the bow :(

     

    Gun ports are are 2x per night :)

     

    Cheers :)

    As you can see the pencil line I carefully cut and sanded this off, it fits great now, I still have other side so to.

    I did make a cannon,( not fully glued as i there are a few things i want to do, but just to prove its now at the right hight. (There is not decking under the cannon, I had removed it,so it will be a few mm higher.

     

     

    Will work on the rest for the next week or so
