Good mathematical way to approach the question...

OK-confession - so I lost the chain that goes across the rudder on my HMS Vanguard 1/72 whilst moving it to a 'safe' place when the builders arrived-- It came loose so I put it somewhere safe -- so safe i cant find it!!!! What is the link size do I need to order? Any suggestions?

Spend hours and hours and hours doing it and it looks like almost no progress in the pictures 🤪 The cranes are just placed in position

Dry fitting the aircraft catapult

Slowly slowly.making progress.u to the stage of making the main mast

Superb work, I ordered a lot of Veteran flak guns, and now looking at your build I will get the bridge equipment too.. Thanks for taking the time to document it all for us 😁

The deck level structure has its PE and a quick spray of grey so I can see any imperfections easier. The second and third level has 90% PE complete. The sections are not attached to the hull. I wont do that until they have had a final coat of grey ---and the dreaded black and white stripes applied. After all this work and yet not one single gun however small has yet to be done.

Wood you believe it 😂 The rear wooden structure is ready for serious PE work

A mile stone. Book one consisting off 114 pages with 620 instruction blocks completed..roll on book two

Now the first true assembly -- let the gluing and stacking begin!!! 😲

from a box to a hanger with lots of PE and just a tickle of plastic

Really enjoying this part of the build doing the PE now that I have started to gain some experience is very rewarding.

What a fab ship , can't wait to see those props turning 😎
-
ooooooooooooooooo doing that would frighten me to death 😱
-
Thanks, Its so striking--just has to be done--

Sprayed the Funnels stripes and started to add the details... Or as my wife said' oh that's nice you painted the chimney ' 😁

Another view

Thanks Yves A bit of a pain but I think will really stand out once completed, this is my first 'non wooden' Napoleonic ship I have attempted. I saw a few being done on here and just goat the bug LOl . I spray the stipes and then do the P.E parts which are easy to hand paint in.. It would be a nightmare to mask off even with a small amount of detail in place, Next is to stripe the funnel-- then detail it...

Hi Harry been slowly making progress... Work and Family holidays getting in the way LOL Everything is just placed together so some bits may look wonky LOL
-
first upper deck stripe done. I wont fix the funnel cap until after its its stripes -Thought Id better the ground work adding the stripes in before it gets too cluttered with PE to mask nicely.
