  1. Fantastic, I wish I knew how to do all that kind of stuff, it really adds to the model, nice work regards Paul
  2. Lovely job Maurice, a fine looking model and the changes you've made only enhance what is a Good model to start with. Regards Paul
  3. Sirius 1796 carronades underwater
  4. Hi Frolick Im not sure anything has been found of the HMS magicienne, the team over there are currently working on the East Indiaman St Geran (1744) and the pirate ship Speaker (1702) I believe, but they are near to producing a shipwreck database which may give some more information, I will let you know when/if I hear anything. Regards Paul
  5. Hi Chapman, if you are interested in the Mauritius sirius please visit my log in my signature below, where I have pictures of archaeology from Mauritius and my build of the 1796 Syrius Regards Paul Thanks Dowmer, beat me by one minute😁
  6. Bit more done over the weekend, deck planking and some deck furniture while waiting for planks to dry, there's quite a sheer up to the forecastle
  7. Hi Keith Thanks, I doubt its any warmer I have only been able to get out an hour at a time and extra jackets required, small boat and bigger scale 😁😁
  8. Cherry roof completed and has had three coats of sealer, sanded inbetween with 400 grit, plansheer added around three sides so far, I also lined the front of the cabin with mahogany I also gave the inside of the cox's cockpit a freshen up after planking the floor, bases for the fireplace chimney and capstan also added The front edge of the roof still needs trimming but im happy with the colour that has come out after sealing, polishing with wire wool should bring out the sheen.
  9. I have added deck and state room beams and carlings for the deck fittings, capstan, gratings etc, now cutting some cherry planks and lining with Black paper for the state room roof
  10. When will the 1/48 be available?
  11. Watch chucks videos on YouTube of planking the Winchelsea, he explains it perfectly and how to measure the bend etc, really does make life much easier @Chuck I have always used a heat gun on the hull, but chucks approach simplifies everything, they can also be found on the cheerful and Winchelsea logs Regards Paul
  12. I was just going to ask the same question, I have searched for I to use on the sirius but couldn't find any
  13. Ha thanks Fred, its not easy keeping that mess organised 😁😁scrubby j's engine room is spotless compared to my garage, I do keep trying to organise it a bit better but it doesn't work🤣
  14. Finally managed to get some work done, warmer weather although very wet, all bulkheads now cut and fitted, due to the fact that I am very lucky to work in such a warm and dry garage 😁😁 I have started adding spacers between the bulkheads to help keep everything nice and straight, they can be just seen in the First picture The clerk of the cheques yacht can be seen in front at 1/32 scale
  15. I'd forgotten how easy it was to single plank on bulkheads, not!!! Finally managed to get some work in with slightly warmer weather although very wet Hull planking complete except for the garboard which I've left off for now so the dust can drop out the bottom, Wales and faux frames, also painted inside the cockpit and transom in readiness for the cockpit planking I was originally going to trim out the bulkheads but have mow decided against that as most of the inside wont be viewable, I am going to make the fancy stairs down into the bedspace and state room
  16. That's some beautiful work there Greg and David, and I love the colours of the box and holly Regards Paul
  17. Stunning work Alex, I bet that weighs a few pounds, the scroll work looks fantastic, cnc??? Regards Paul
  18. Stunning work Keith, the lettering would'nt be a problem to a man of your calibre I think !!!!!!!😁😁
