Have had a good few days working on the wheel house. I changed the doors to a sliding door (makes zero sense for them to open inwards on a sea going ship), scratch built a console and 3d printed a ships wheel. Also going to put in a throttle control and radar display of some sort. Windows installed and some painting and dry fitting to see if I like the colour scheme and look. I do

It has been a bit since my last update. Basically finishing up the hull, rub rail in place, cap rails, rudder put together and hull painting. Have started work on the wheelhouse and currently have a ships wheel in the 3d printer .

After taking a good chunk of the summer and the fall off from my model dungeon I am back at it now that the snow is falling again Got the deck put down and the start of the pilot house and rudder.

Somewhat productive week. Used the Occre Putty for the first time. It's not bad, you can wipe it thinner with a bit of water if you use too much and dries rock hard. Does seem a bit prone to chips during sanding but one of the better products I have tried. Got the stern blocks in and sanded down along with hull sanding. Did a primer over the whole thing to see how it looks. I want the boat to look wooden planked such as an older boat would be so, went light with the putty. Thoughts? Does it need more putty/sanding or look good for an old wood work boat? Gonna look at it for a few days to decide if I think I like it or not

Survived my first official planking. Not the prettiest. Lots of sanding and filling ahead. Holes, cracks, craters to fill. But was not near as bad as I thought it would be. But already I know how I will do it different on my next build. Continuing to learn. Excuse the few blood stains, the top of one of the sewing pins came off and impaled my finger. Dang things.

Good job, most definitely HMCS Huron That is very interesting that they have it as HMS on the box when they sell the HMCS Huron in 1/350 (which I built) and I thought that one was small hahaha. So big hand clap for your work at this scale. btw, I have a build log in a google photo album if you would like a link to it for reference. Just let me know if you want it on here.

Thanks Jacques. Yes, just put them on the sticky side of the tape, mix of PVA and water, let it dry and carefully remove. Works well.

and completed. Numerous things I am not happy with and will take away as lessons learned. First I will never hand sew sails again hahahaha, that was extremely time consuming. Replace ropes, need to find better and more to scale cleats, need to find a solder that brass blackener will work with, would make the sail rings smaller and I need a steadier hand in hand painting the bowsprit. After some time away from this kit, I might go back and fix the bowsprit and mast rings as they stand out too much to me and can be fixed relatively easily. But over all, for my 3rd model (this is the last in the midwest series) I am happy. Can't thank Olha enough for her online classes and tutorial and for the comments here on model ship world. She is now proudly displayed in my living room. As always, I created a google album of all the gory pictures if anyone wants to see the build pictures from start to finish - https://photos.app.goo.gl/PEPshL8zixs5suDi7

Yikes, just realized how negligent I have been with my updates. Before I show the final pictures, a few shots of working on the rigging and ropes. I did purchase some ropes from "Ropes of Scale" which I used around the sail itself, but I kicked myself, after the fact, for not removing the kit rope that I had already started with and completed the model with. The Ropes of Scale would have been so much nicer to look at but even easier to work with. Ah well, I am learning what parts in a kit to use, and which ones to put aside. All part of the learning process.

Welcome! Look forward to seeing your builds mate!

Its been a while since my last update but the class teacher has been spending a lot of time on the sails. We put a bolt rope around the sails and have added the tails. Mast is in place, stained some of the wood and stand is in place. Fingers crossed the rigging goes well this weekend and we can start the finishing touches.

Not much of an update as I have been working on the Lobster Smack which is nearing completion. Finally started planking, must first attempt. So far so good and have calculated out how much to start trimming and angling as I go along. Not as scary (so far) that people make it out to be but sure see lots of sanding in my future . Have a great weekend all.
