Looking good, its worth the effort -- that's the trouble with 72 cannon ships-- lots of repetition LOL... welcome to the club...im just ahead of you in my Vanguard build
-
thanks everyone, a few avenues to check out i did look on eBay but nothing other than US-- which makes it very expensive to input.. next stop the Art supply shops
-
I have been told silkspan is no longer made?, If so any suggestions for a UK alternative or a UK stockist with some left? Thanks--- the product looks so good from what I have seen on here..

I like the buffer-- putting some nice circular dents down her side OOOOOPs! It might polish out .....
-
Thanks-- never seen this before--

Thank you for taking time to give me such comprehensive answers. Based on what you are saying I shall leave the lower rings empty as that is the right way-- I never knew As you can see she is just about ready to have them fitted..

Can I assume the gunport cover apart from the two ropes on the upper side for opening the lid, the two rings on the inside should also have ropes running in through the gun port opening. It is just all the pictures on here show the rings with nothing attached? well the pictures i have found dont... LOL

Thanks, I think I will start a new thread.

I'm building The Vanguard and was thinking about adding 'spare spars and mast parts on deck just to add yet more detail/clutter ---- so any pictures I can reference would be fab..

I'd not really seen anyone on here making the hammocks for the netting-- had a go-- and apart from tidying some twisted up ones very pleased..so I will finish doing them for the final model . I could not find a definitive on how they were stacked so I went for a simple ascetically pleasing..

well-done Bill I can only echo your comments about building the Cheerful--- a great way indeed for upping our game, and trying new things, like you I got so much more from this build. Almost as if Chuck had us novices in mind lol --- only joking Chuck --I'd recommend this to anyone thing of branching away from a kit-- a super stepping stone

This is the best all round book on ships and battles of the period I have found and I have read many!-- it is a who's who of most of the ship names we see on here and what they did in a simple readable form
-
I have read both these, and they a very good read
-
Its that age old problem, where to display everything we make looking forward to following this task.
-
On Amazon they have 16 copies at £2 each plus postage ... Its worth a purchase even if you just look at the pictures LOL
-
Forgot to say--- you can see it in London-- well some of it

Hi, really enjoying this topic, super work. I thought Id share this unusual book-- it is on Amazon for almost nothing. A chap was commissioned to make a model of the whole battle 190,000 figures-- Wellington didn't like it as it showed he was being a bit economical with the truth about the Prussians and certain individual in his official dispatches-- The first few chapters are slow but the rest is a fascinating read.

I have just bumped into this build. What a great topic and super paint job,I have never seen this ship before-so unusual , --- I shall be following along --might even do this myself at some point, I have never done a plastic/PE ship
