  1. SorryI Can't help but someone will I am sure. Are the sheets of plans not to scale? And you can take the measurements from them. This is how I get the measurements for my builds. Paul
  2. I personaly use primer. I use straight forward sanding sealer if I need to. I Would not prime or seal where the plates are glued on as bare wood will allow the copper to adhere better. This also goes for any areas wherePE will be atached. Paul
  3. Work is progressing well. There are a few mistakes to the model. The spiral staircase did not fit too well, but is mostly hidden so not too bothered. I measured the distance of the posts using the rails. This worked fine, but when I glued them all in place I was out by just 1mm or so. This of course meant that the posts are not a perfect fit by the third deck. Also I glued the top and bottom stiffeners that hold the rails incorrectly. I have put them width up on the second deck by mistake. this has been corrected on the third deck. I was left with a choice of stripping the whole lot down and starting again or excepting that it is wrong. As it does not really show that much I can live with it and will keep as is. Paul
  4. Welcome to MSW JC, I was thinking the same with regards to th nails. They do pull you in and you miss the great job you have done on the hull. Keep up the Good work. Paul

  7. Welcome to the wonderful world of wooden ship building Paul. Good job for your first wooden model. Look forward to seeing your build. Paul. That's me Paul not you Paul, be safe Paul. This getting confusing Paul.LOL LOL
  8. finally I have a new PC. spent most of this morning reinstalling all the protections and getting it set up. unfortunately my camera connection is broke so can't download the pics I have on the card. will have to buy a card reader. below are what pictures I had on the mobile. cheap phone so quality is not great. I don't like to see bare wood, so I am painting the model. Looking on the web at these boats most where painted all white. But some had some nice colour schemes. the windows are a bit bright but I like them. Building the spiral staircases at present. Paul.
  9. Great job Clare, I have thought about a change of pace from wood to card. Seeing your build log has inspired me to think harder. The details are top class and you are doing an excellent job. Will be following your build. Paul

  16. Nothing. I have even saved the pictures to Google drive. It has to be some setting on the phone. The phone is sim only. Do I need a card of some type. I am new to mobile. Only had it a few weeks so still getting used to it.
  17. I have clicked on choose files but nothing happens. Do I need to alter something on the phone settings?
  18. Still working on model. Unfortunately my pc has broke. Waiting to get a new one, so am writing this on my mobile. Can't find a way to download pictures from mobile. Is it possible to do so, if so how. Paul
