    Hi all, This build has inspired me albeit I'm not sure I have the confidence to scratch build one. Can anyone provide advice on a good manufactured kit in the same vein that I could give a go. Cheers, Medic

    Hi all, So taken have I been with following Popeye's Syborn trawler build that I'm now inspired to try my own. It is too ambitious for me to scratch build one, so can any provide advice on a good manufactured kit on the market. Cheer's, Medic

    Ok so to model a well kept cannon in good working order I should paint as suggested above. What about the smaller things such as chain link and metal strappings? Cheers, Medic

    The decks come up nicely, keen to see more. Cheers, Medic

    Hi all, Albeit I'm yet to complete a project/quite new, I was a little surprised to read through the threads and see such a high volume of modellers advising about painting the cannons. I come from an armour and resin figure back ground an have certainly used and like both Tamiya and Vallejo paints. But if the cannons are metal (brass or other) I was of the belief or misconception as the case may be that a patina was more appropriate. Cheers, Medic

    Hi Denis, She has a real authentic working class look about her, very nice. Cheers, Medic

    Take heart it's a set back not a disaster. If it is bothering you each time you look at her fill, sand and repaint. Cheers, Medic

    Hi Mark, She is looking fantastic. I can really appreciate the effort you've put in. Cheers, Medic

    Hi Mark, That would be great as a PM, The more reference pics the better, not to mention I enjoy looking at other modellers works. Cheers, Medic

    Thanks Mark, working my way through that now I hope to post some progress shortly. How did you find the build itself? Having seen a couple of completed versions I quite like her lines. Cheers, Medic

    I haven't started her yet David, I'm working my way through the Clipper Harvey at the moment. You live in a great part of the world too. I'm born and bred in Warragul. Cheers, Medic

    Hi David and welcome, I be very keen to see your Mary Byrne, mid last year I brought the Mermaid but was torn between the two, so I expect my next purchase to be the Mary Byrne. Cheers, Medic
  22. medic
    Can anybody provide a suggestion? Cheers, Medic
  23. medic
    I recently got the Cutter 'Mermaid" a kit from the Modeller's ship yard in Australia. Nice detailed plans and ticks off most of the things on your list. Cheers, Medic
  24. medic
    So I recently picked up this kit at a swap sell meet at the Scale ACT modelling competition an have been cheerfully chugging away. As this is my first serious attempt in this medium of modelling strap yourselves in because I have heaps of questions. As you can see I've completed the first layer of hull planking and the deck. The plans call for the bulwarks to be planked and attached before commencing the second layer. So to my question.... As the bulwark is flat should I follow the curvature of the bulwark and assume the planks will come into a horizontal line as the bulwark is attached to the shape of the deck. Or should I run the planks horizontally on the flat bulwark and hope that they remain horizontal when attached to the deck. Cheers, Medic

    Thanks guys, for me it will be pin as much as possible and then put a finishing coat on once complete. Cheers, Medic
