Thanks for those help me !

Hy,

I got a problem : the figure head is accidently broken, and I need a new for replacement, if possible

 

I glued the broken part, without great success (look at attached pic)

Could you send it ?

If you are OK, I shall send you my postal adress

Thanks,

Cheers,

Christian Faivre

If you email John Garcia at  jgarcia@modelexpo-online.com  I'm sure he will send you another figure head. Get the part number from the parts sheet

Thanks,

 

Sorry, the mail provided don't match...

 

I send the same for Chuck Passaro on this forum

As figure was broken, I repaired approximative with cyanolit glue

 

A new piece could be provided ?

  

What do you think about ? 

Hawse cheeks and holes : some pieces will have to be remade for best adaptation to round forms of hull

Second Roundhouse

Two other pics

First roundhouse, before clear oak wax

 

For making easy, it is'nt glued

Today works

A small laser cut piece...

Bowsprit complete 

Painting and preparing all pieces of bowsprit

Bowsprit adjusted (not glued) before painting

Detail operation...

Bowsprit (it will be red painted and glued with two unvisible brass shanks)

I prefer to replace the molded cannons of the kit with brass pieces (the shape of first seems too irregular)

Larboard sweep-ports hings

 

 

Sweep-ports hings

Rectification : first false position of sweep-port hings could'nt open... and (2nd pic) the small iron reinforce of skeg
