    Hi. A very informative build with a lot of skill and quality workmanship being shown. You have the best approach to keeping the ship square and true...Jiging.. This might be of some use to you. I know is from the Victory . Taken from The Anatomy Of Nelsons Ships. Page 23 The keelson on was the first element of the locking devices. It was composed of six pieces of Elm 1 ft. 8 in square. The scarfs were 5ft.9 in long and gave shift to the scarfs in the keel. It was laid on the top of the floors above the keel and was bolted through each floor and the keel with 1' 7/8 "in bolts. Keep up the excellent workmanship it's a credit to you. Regards Antony.

    Hi. Just starting on my triton cross section and needed some timber. Found an UK outlet for timber and thought I would share it with the rest of me ship mates. http://hobby.uk.com/materials/wood.html For timber. http://hobby.uk.com/materials/metal/etched-mesh.html for mesh. There are other bits on the site that might be of interest to us. Got my order today and the quality is spot on. Postage was very cheep and was send 24 hour delivery. Regards Antony.

    Hi. Cost is high at £672 and what scale is it ? They are good kits for bigginers as they have a book as a guide. Beware of total costing. Regards Antony. Edit:- more info. Have a look here http://forum.model-space.co.uk/default.aspx?g=topics&f=40

    Hi Pete. I have no idea at the moment. Might follow someone's else's list as metal's I can do but wood is a new ball game for me. A good friend has just offered the use of his workshop and he is a carpenter and a jolly good one. So will ask his advice also. My local stockist for modeling timber is cornwallmodelboats?co.uk Looking forward to learning a lot of new skills with this model. Regards Antony.

    Hi. A very nice model. Quality workmanship. Quote from post No #5 "I've installed the oars and cannons, which need to be in place before the roof gets planked over. Unfortunately, the oars will make handling the model for the remaining work a lot trickier." I have dome something similar to this and used very small magnets in the hull and metal pins inside the oars to hold in place when ready. I spent many years in Korea. I loved the place Regards Antony.
