Rich.F got a reaction from dgbot in HMS Victory by Rich.F - FINISHED - Caldercraft - Scale: 1/72
Over the last few weeks I have been making a few of the small boats, Barge + Cutter due to my building works.
These have been a little tough, due to the size, the planking was painful, more so the amount of time my fingers need to be cut off,, oops.

Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated.
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 !

Hello rich
The area you point out I guess is infront of the snatch block. Part number 125 ( main rail timber head) fits in front of the snatch block, and the plank sheer part number 380 fits between the timber heads as does the fife rail. See page 28 -29 the beakhead capping assembly, photo 25&26. The fife rail assy part 405 tucks up to inside face of the timber head The timber heads need to be shaped. DAVID

HI All, I have been slowly working on the ship, Shes coming along nice and er, slow. A few minor changes made, (not reading plans properly) Took a break from building as i was getting home from work and not enjoying the build as it was becoming more of a chore than fun, Plus its been a nice summer ( well as good as England gets .. and now the Rugby is on well !! ) ...
The main problem I had was the gun port patterns (forecastle) 276, I made the error of not breaking out the bulkhead pattens 1-5 1-13,, and of course I have added the second planking etc, lets not forget the paint!!. I wasnt unill I placed the hand rails and the Snatch block (61) I realized my mistake ..........two weeks later........
The Upper deck is now finished and bulk walls in place, Im just cleaning up the build now touching up the paint etc, and going to work on... ( not sure).. must read the manual..
If any body want a copy of the manual i have them in a Word 2007 format. (to big to upload here PM me with you email if you like)
Well thats it for now TC all.

Evening.
I've finished all the lower gunports and this afternoon I masked off and sprayed the lower hull, first with a primer then black upto the first yellow band.
Few areas need touching up as the last pic shows, but nothing major.

Greetings All, Thank you every one for dropping by, Leaving a comment,some advice or a like,
Schnu, Yes the hull will be painter and the copper plates added all 4500 of them give or take.
Sam, Your So right
I Have finished lining the gun ports, filled sanded and painted, I happy with it atm, Might need a bit of fine tuning when I paint the Hull, Im Going to this afternoon Line the inner gun port walls so i can paint the rest of the gun ports and paint the hull.
