Steve 12345 reacted to EJ_L in Le Soleil Royal by EJ_L - FINISHED - Sergal - Scale 1:77 - 1669 Version
Been building masts and have now topped out S.R.'s final height. None of them are glued in place yet, just dry fit and will be coming back down soon to allow for the rigging to continue. She is no doubt a very large model.

trawl doors fitted ive opted to go with the doors with no brass surround and made the doors slightly bigger so they are the same size if the brass was fitted

Steve 12345 got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Fast Patrol Launch by Steve 12345 - Aerokits/KeilKraft
Thanks guys for the interests and the likes
running a google image search I came across this boat I reckon I could clone it would mean re doing that pretty deck again where it raises at the bow but hey that is no problem
ignore the size and shape of windows on mine this will all be planked over and new apertures created and as don mentioned I would need to make the windscreen steeper angled
if anyone has any pics you think this boat could be made in to throw them up there id be happy to see alternatives
thanks

thanks E J I never thought such an app would exist that's gonna be real handy
This evenings activity saw deck planking on the starboard side and any worries over the symmetry being off vanished
I really don't know where im going with this build so any suggestions or examples very welcome ,at this stage the wheel house is still removable so that might be rebuilt a different shape I might raise the deck around the bow slightly also covering or redoing the deck planking is not a problem so any ideas guys jump in there and don't be a stranger

Steve 12345 got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in HMS Bounty by Steve 12345 - FINISHED - Billing Boats - 1:50
Hello all and welcome back to my penultimate post on HMS Bounty
another milestone reached is completion of the running rigging I thank you guys for the suggestions on the stay line distortion issue I had
I stiffened the line with the white glue and water mix and played about and redone the lines several times Im know going to conclude I believe some distortion is normal maybe not so much on the real ship but it is just rope and any pulling on it at all will of course distort it so I think I can live with that .
We still ofcourse haven't reached completion there still remains my achilles heal on this ship, the ships boat and rope coils
with completion of the running rigging I am now going to let myself begin the rc aeroplane build
but your can be dam sure ill be back with a ships boat and rope coils to claim my sought after FINISHED badge in the title
so with some sadness the shipyard is deconstructed and now converted to a hangar
until then thanks guys for viewing liking and commenting

Steve 12345 got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in J3 Piper Cub by Steve 12345 - FINISHED - 1/4 scale
Hello all ive been away for a while from ship building as rc plane building has sparked my interest i thought i would show you all what to expect from a balsa plane kit
and how i got on with my first build ,the build itself was quite quick built over the course of a couple of months and very satisfying to see a large airframe come together over the first few weeks ,at about half way into the build i joined a local flying club and knowing what i know now i 100 percent would not have succesfully flown her without there help ,over the course of the past year i have scaled her out a bit and now enjoy flying on a regular basis

Thanks for the comments guys the cub is an absolute buety to fly but only after a lot and I mean a lot of experience I started by flying a foamie orientation was my first hurtle (what way up was it ) after concurring that I soon discovered I'm short sighted (others seemed to fly far away and I thought how can they even see that) after a trip the opiction I purchased some glasses solely for flying later I purchased some ready made almost ready to fly balsa planes the acro wot being one of them people from the uk will be familiar with this plane such a buetifull flyer I later purchased the acro wot xl and hey that thing is the best flyer I have then it was time to maiden the cub ,what a relaxing flight and lands like a dream everyone in my flying club adores seeing the big bird which has a good number of successful flight under her belt such a joy to fly

Here is a tour guide video I found on utube dated April 2017 that looks extremely helpful to all the victory builders out there

I was very impressed with the mantua version I would really like to try the Caldercraft version but would it be worth the investment?

I'm guessing the original victory the one that sunk was 84 gun ?

Thanks also Doug I found the speed of my build came with the inexperience it was pretty hard to overthink things I knew nothing about anyway and regardless to the size of the thing it's still a ship and even a small ship build has all the same processes such as planking copper playing rigging etc. A small ship has just as much work just a large ship your stuck on the same stage for a we while longer

After the little mare nostrum build I did I have become a big fan of bare wood models instead of painting just use hardwood and softwood mixtures I think some of the artesania Latina kits lend well to this and I'm considering a Scottish maid or independence
