    Thanks guys, I did have fun with this one.

    Well guys and gals it's time for the final update of this build. I posted plenty of pics so check them out and feel free to leave any comments you like. I would like to thank everyone on the forum for all the views and comments I got a lot more than I thought I would. I will start a new build and in a few days with pics of course.

    Thanks Pete and shoule, my next post will be soon of the finished model.

    There is a very good reason for not just using super glues, working time, you get little or none. I think in most cases you are better off with the wood glue this way if you need to shift or remove a part you have a much longer working time.

    You really put a lot of great details in such a small boat, nice work.

    Well done Pete, looks nice and smooth.

    Thanks Geoff, I am coming close to the end of this build, 1 or 2 more updates should do it.

    Good start, that wood molding is a good idea never thought of that.

    Thanks Russ, glad to have you check in.

    You have a nice clean build going, but I really like those bulkhead screens.
  14. Littlebob
    Well done those guns and carriages look great.

    Thanks David, I am surprised this one is going so smooth, lol.

    Hi glad too see another Virginia build, check mine out if you wish I am about 80% done, maybe you will get some ideas for your build. As for question 2 and 4 several of the parts Latina has supplied are metal but on the cover shot they are wood, there is no reason not to use the metal parts, I chose to scratch build them both for looks and one of my cheeks was badly bent. if you use the metal parts you will have to use super glue. Question 5 I did not bother to dilute the glue no need.

    Time for a very small update, just one pick today of the anchors and the new hold downs. Next I will be working on installing the bolt ropes on my sails. All comments welcome.

    Looks great Pete, your build appears to be going pretty smooth.

    The plank work looks great Peter, have fun at the real shipyard sounds like the perfect work for you.
  20. Littlebob
    Looking good Pete, waiting to see a few planks.
  21. Littlebob
    I like the red, looks nice and smooth.
  22. Littlebob
    Sounds like you went above and beyond what you need to do to fix the keel, I would send an e-mail and try to get another one.
  23. Littlebob
    Thanks Pete, I have sewed all the sails and made the hold down brackets for the anchors, I will post a pic in a day or 2.
  24. Littlebob
    Thanks for the picture, that will help. The anchors are already glued but I think I will add a few pieces of scrap wood along the sides of the anchors to hold the steel bands, that should look a lot better. thanks for your help.

    I think you are doing really well on your build, to help bend your planks soak them in water first.
