Thanks Rob, Many thanks for the Heads-Up!! Would you have any links to the info? To date, I am using Scott Branders plans as reference. Cheers and Regards, Harry.

Hi All, Small update: Inboard Bulwark Planking completed (Maple) Remainder of Waterways installed Main Rail installed It certainly helped to have components for the Main Rail pre-bent to more or less conform to the Bulwarks. The Main Rail still required some small persuasion to conform to the curves. Next task.... Undecided at the mo. Thoughts: are: Drill holes for Pedestal Rods Poop Deck Rail Deck Fittings, Bitts/Fife Rails Water Casks That's me for today. 🙂 Cheers....HOF. Photos:

HJ Jami/Ian, Sorry to hear of the missing parts.... I do not believe that Mamoli is a company any longer, I may be wrong, but I believe that a fire ended thier business, I think that you may be able to source Chain Plats as a Photo Etch accessory and is something that I want to have a look at also at some stage. Unsure of what company might deal with this but worth a look? I have also seen You-Tube videos on hot to make them, they don't look too difficult, maybe with a little practice. I wish you all the best with your endeavors.. Cheers and Regards, Harry.

Ditto to the above!! I'm interested with the Trumpeter version which I have in storage. I completed the "Partworks" (Amati) version but feel the Trumpeter version has more detail, esp. with the upgrade stets. (Maybe I'll get to this one day.... 🙂) Cheers..... HOF.

Thank you both for your kind words, very much appreciated. Yup, the Keel issues are now but a memory.... 🙂 Over the past few days I have been tinkering, thinking about the next logical steps. I assembled the Chain Plates, accounting for all of them. (I think I'll have to solder the middle link joint) Inside Bulwark Planking/Stanchions and Pin Rails have to be next. All good fun!! Cheers and Regards, Harry.

Hi All, Small update: Second Planking complete (Perhaps a "Tickle" here and there) Rudder Blank constructed So, the more I get into this model, the more I come to realize that it's more of a scratch build than a kit. I'm o.k. with this. There is "Sod" all in the way of materials, (As I have bemoaned about many times before), I had to have a damn good search for 0.5 X 3.0 MM Planking Material below the turn of the Bilges.... I milled my own 4.0 X 4.0mm wood for the Rudder laminations and other stock milled for Bitts, Etc. I am unsure what I will approach next, but I have plenty to do.... 🙂 Onward, I guess. Cheers....

Hi All, It's been a few weeks since I updated this log, so here it is.... Main Deck Planking completed Hull Planking done up to and including Wales Bowsprit Jibboom tapered and test fitted Houses pretty much done Companionways and Skylights almost complete Additional comments: Hull Planking is multi shaded Walnut, but I am not too concerned as it will be painted Black Pin-Rails in Instructions and on Plan are more "Isolated" "Pin-Pads" and do not run the length of the Main Deck. To overcome this, I laminated and clamped two 2.0 X 1.5mm Strips on ech side, laminated in situ and removed once dry. I think that this will be much better House Planking is two shades of Walnut, the lighter is Kit supplied and I am being really frugal with this material as the Kit has already demonstrated the lack of material. The Kit supplied lighter Walnut is also for Planking below the Wales I used the kit supplied Window Frames, (Metal), but used the Doors I made previously and relented, painting the Frames White. Windows and Doors each have 0.16mm thick Acetate on the rears painted Tamiya Clear Blue. Glued onto the Houses using thinned Mig Ammo Ultra Glue So, I think that's all up to date for the mo.... 🙂 Comments/Suggestions always welcome. Cheers.... HOF. Photos:

Hi All, Update: First External Bulwark Planking started. (5.0 X 1.0mm around the Bulwark tops and four rows 3.0 X 1.0mm Focsle Bulwarks) Focsle and Poop Bulkhead extensions removed Focsle and Poop Decks planked (Inboard Bulwark planking to be done at a later stage) Fore and Main Hatches assembled (I am unsure if I like these, I may have to re make these) Wood quality and quantity remains an issue and I have resorted to mill/resaw my own dwindling supply.... 🙂 On a positive note, I feel a sense of progress. Cheers.... HOF. Photos:
