  1. With a lazy Saturday and bad weather. There was a lot of "Centurion time". Building the mantled and a"canvas" cover from tissue Discovered a 17 pounder in the parts box (ex M4 from Matchbox) Toolboxes are made from lamineted plastic sheet Hatches, ventilator and MG mount Current status of the model This little experiment is going in the right direction. Thanks for following
  2. Indeed, This came into use in the early 17th century (the Mayflower period) And you explained the "schroud problem" very well, thanks.
  3. Beautiful country Sweden. We went there a few times in the summer by car on vacation. Nice house and great work on the model.
  4. indeed. why didn't I see this will be by my age 👴😅
  5. Nice work on the stern planking Steven. Building a wooden long boat on 1/200 scale. what a challenge.
  6. wow, you go fast. I don't watch for a few days, and you're already rigging the ship Well done 👍
  7. Well spotted 👍 Went to the dentist to get a new tooth for the Centurion 😬🤣 The turret (the basic shape) is made of plastic plate and plaster. Yes plaster on plastic. I have been using it for over 15 years and am very satisfied with the results. Building the turret Dimensions look ok But the rear needed to be made thinner. the basic shape of the turret is ready, he looks pretty ok to me To be continued, thanks for folowing
  8. Norwegian or American. That doesn't matter to me. It is a very beautiful and detailed model. And the construction method is very clearly explained. Great work Geert
  9. Nice work on the model and the tools. A lost cat came to our house 2 years ago. We adopted him and he (Felix) is now our best friend
  10. I also count only 3 wales with the Bounty models 2 smaller and 1 wide My Bounty model was just a plastic model but quite a challenge In post 1 you will find a link of drawings from the original model
  11. I don't have any belaying pins on my Pelican / GH. In this period, belaying pins were not yet in use. The Mayflower is 40-50 later, she may have had these pins
  12. looks very good Jeff. Congrats on your work
  13. This is indeed a very neat planking 👍
  14. Continue with the hull. The modifications for a Mk.1 on the engine compartment with plastic strip Extra details and cabels at the rear. the Turret .. The author of the article explains the construction method very well. Unfortunately, it does not provide any dimensions or clear construction drawings. That is why we start with the bottom plate and some "frames" as supports for the sides and tops of the turret. To be continued, thanks for following.
  15. Do they still have a different color after sanding? Maybe the color problem will be solved after sanding.
  16. You will not see such costumised cars in Belgium very often. Too much paperwork and extra inspections before you can drive it on public roads. And then park somewhere with the windows open 😲 It will be empty when you return from shopping ... It is possible to order a personalized number plate for your car in Belgium (costs 1000 euros extra). Will be a nice model
