Hi Jan The thickness of the photo etched ones are 1mm. The wooden ones are just over 3mm. If I sand down a bit on each side to get them down to just over 2mm I will be happy. I can always make the frames a bit higher, I don't think any one will notice ( well they will now ha-ha ). Denis.

Hi Jan Thank you for the photo. Still don't like the gratings, so I think I will use the wooden ones. Denis.

Hi Jean-Pierre. I agree with you no matter how you paint them they will not look that good. The size are Ok, holes are 1mm sq in both the metal and the wooden ones, I will have to cut the wooden ones back a bit to make them fit, as they did not sell them in the same size as the metal ones. I got them from Modeller Shipyard in Australia cost about $5.95au each. I will take a photo with the both side by side soon. Denis.

Hi Brian I don't know yet. If I use the brass ones then it will not be possible to paint them to look like wood with a good result. Or I could use brass blackening like you use for the cannons ?. May be better to use the wooden ones. Denis.

Hi All I need some help with the gratings on my 1577 Revenge. The kit has brass grating but I did not like them so got some wooden ones. Can anyone advise me if the gratings on the Revenge was Iron or wood. Denis.

Hi SpyGlass Yes the base is MDF also, Brian had a good idea he said plank the base, and that is what I will do. I have used other rigging lines before ( most fell apart ) and ended up going back to Amati ones, I always label the spools. I agree with you, you would think the kit people would label them. Re gratings I have not read all the book yet so I don't know if they say paint them or not, but if they are I would paint them black. May be the gratings were cast iron I don't know, may be some one out there can help me on that one ??. Denis.

Hi All Looking at the kit again, the gratings are brass looking. Sorry I did not like them that much, so ordered some new wooden ones. I think they will look a lot better than the brass ones. I did order them over size so will cut them back a bit to fit. Denis.

Hi Boyd Thank you. Below the water line will be painted. Denis.

Hi all Sorry I have not posted for some time but I have been working on the second planking. I have got to say it is taking a very long time and only 1/3rd done. I thought I would give part of it a bit of a sand to see what it will look like. Denis.

Hi Visi You are more than welcome my friend. But I hope you are drinking a good red wine. Denis.

Hi Mike Re cord, yes it look like a lot ha-ha but we will see. With my SoS I put all the cord in the bin and started again using Amati cord. Denis.

Hi Martin You don't have to put the full sails on. Have a go at furling them it is not that hard. It is just getting the tension on the thread correct on the sewing machine. Denis.
-
Hi Martin Will take that on board. I did not know that the sail mat was in the kit, that should be Ok as I made the sails for the SoS. Denis.
