Just placed the stern fascia. In the manual it says that you place it after you planked the deck and the inner bulwarks. This doesn't seemt logical for me so i did it now. Definitely needs work after it to clean it up.

Glued and nailed the upper deck from front to back it's 1mm of center...well...it happens 😁. I can live with that. Dry fitted the mast also, so that fits when the time is ready

Thank you so much! I'm happy with it for a first time, it was a nice learning proces. It was not exactly how i wanted it but i'm a perfectionist so maybe it's never okay haha. I didn't get the measurements right, but that was okay because the copper tiles could mask it. For a next build there's more to learn about that!

First question right away. I'm happy how the copper plating turned out. And it's aging by day, i like that a lot! But there is some glue residue visible from the CA glue i used for the tiles. Now i read that you can wipe it off with some aceton? Does it also count for the dried glue like you see in on the pictures? and what is the best technique then? Any tips are appreciated!

Hello! I already introduced myself a few weeks ago and thought that maybe a building log is a good thing, because it's my first build. So al the help is welcome! I'm from the Netherlands, so my spelling won't always be on point ;). I began this ship in 2015 but paused at the first planking stage. Life came in between and i didn't knew if i would continue this wonderful hobby. But recently i picked it right up where i left and addicted ever since. I'm now finished the second planking and plating the hull with copper plates. Yesterdag i spent the whole afternoon with cutting out the gunports. I didn't make use of the gunport pattern that was included because of the issues i had with installing them. So i just planked it with walnut strips and cut the ports yesterday out. My goal with this ship is to just make it right out of the box with practically no modifications, because i want first run through the whole practice of building a ship.

Well...it's not as crisp like i wanted, and it was my first time. So i'm try not to be to hard on myself and mask some bits

Dankjewel!

That's true I think, that's why i'm wheatering it also. Not to heavy but enough to give it some consistency overall. The line of paint is gonna be really thin and small, so i hope it doesn't stand out that much. If you look at the picture the result in the manual looks great with that fine line

Okay thanks! I'm considering wheatering the plates also, so maybe I can blend the color difference if there's is one with that. I will look for the humbrol

Thank you all for your kind welcome!

Hello, I have a question about a paint that matches the same color as the copper plates from Caldercraft. I'm currently building the Pickle from Caldercraft and I'm busy with the coppering of the hull. In the building manual, Caldercraft advices the use masking tape at the waterline and paint a nice straight line between the waterline and the copperplates if you don't get a nice straight line with the plates itself ;). It looks great on the pictures in the manual so I think it's a great idea. But now I'm looking for the right color of the paint that matches the tile color. Maybe has someone here on the forum already did this with a good matching result? I'm curious what kind of brand and maybe paint number you used. Thank you in advance

Hello I'm Ronald, 35 years and live in the Netherlands. I am a member for a while and I don't know if I already introduced myself, so here we go. The first time I checked in I began with the HM Pickle from Caldercraft, but life happened like with a lot of people and I lost sight of the wonderful hobby. But here we are again in 2019 and picked up where I left with the Pickle. Just finished the hull and now busy with installing the copper plates. So a short introduction, I don't post a lot of things but mainly read. But a introduction is always okay
