Now to the Davits. They are a layer cake construction making them thicker. They have tiny little brackets to attach them to the hull. The rigging was replaced once I constructed them with Ezyline. Some bits are still hanging loose which i will place rope coils at the ends. There are two resin ones as well which sit behind the bridge. All 4 of them were broken on the resin fret when I opened the box and had to be repaired.

Ok, the last of the railings are complete. Given it is soo tiny, it just takes ages to thread these needles.

Slow plod, I have added the stanchions for the stern, bow and amidships. They come with a 0.1mm copper wire which does not blacken well and does not run as well as a 0.01mm rigging line. My eyes hurt this is so small now. 2 hours to do the bow. To the naked eye it looks great compared to the etch railing.

RGL reacted to DaveRow in HMB Endeavour by DaveRow - FINISHED - Corel - Scale 1:60 - First Build Kit
Some progress on the Windlass.
I turned up the barrel on my home made lathe.
The Bit pins & cheeks(ends) come apart to house the barrel, the cheek bottom held in with a brass bracket, the top with a brass bolt. Took a while to finely tuned the fitting to get the barrel to turn.
I was surprised the figure heads came up fairly well I reckon.
Only 2 days work. !
Next to add the pin rail, whelps, brackets etc. make the bell tower thingy. Mine will be something based on the replica, 2 posts.
PS. I have yet to trim the ends of the barrel off, left them on for now.

Job complete. Very little of the AL kit was used, and as I said to my 10 year old last night, I started this when you were a baby, it's now in this glass box and you can do whatever you want with it after I'm dead, as it's not going anywhere.

I have re varnished the base and attached the pedestals. I also use some brass rods to act as support struts to hopefully keep the ship from future cat tipping

This has been on my wish list for a couple of years now! Using master gun barrells and the Eduard upgrade which although designed for the trumpeter version is usable with the zvezda one. Heres progress so far.
Basic hull went together very well- note the moulded line for if you wish to model her as waterline version.
Deck is painted with Humbrol satin oak thinned down. Care is needed as the deck planking is very finely moulded.
Master gun barrells and eduard turret overlays in place- those gun barrells sure look nice- pity they will be painted.
