    The starboard frieze is on, with the moldings and as Chuck said, it makes a real difference to the model! And she's got a name! Time to do the port side, then on to the stern. As always, thanks for the likes, comments or just having a looksie😁 Cheers

    I think it was common practice to dock cavalry mounts tails in this period. This is from www.britishempire.co.uk The horses were also black but so were the horses of all the cavalry regiments. At this time the tails of the horses were docked. The reasoning behind this unsightly practice was that when a horse's tail became wet and muddy it would flick dirt onto the riders.

    To carry on with the QG's, I needed the frieze printed, my printer seems to shrink them, not by much but enough for them to not fit. So off to my local library and got 3 copies of each for the princely sum of £1(about $1:20) the first dry fit, the lower frieze is tacked on with tiny bits of blu-tak. just to see what it looks like with the lower molding on. I also have done the very fiddly and frustrating job of the fancy rail on top of the gallery roof I think I must have taken extra care placing the decorative inserts as the spares Chuck provides are still on their fret. as per instructions the roof is not glued down yet. Thanks for the likes, looking in and comments, all encouragement is appreciated. Cheers.

    A quick search of YouTube has lots of 18th century battle sounds, drums ,guns and bugles. Wether you could have one on a repeat loop, but I have no idea as how to do that. One of the many followers may be of more help.

    Ditto!! Are you going to put a soundtrack to it? Popping muskets, rifle cracks, drums, bugles and such😊😉😇

    Oh my, it is very small! Until I looked at the photo of you holding it, I was thinking it was about 10- 12 inches long. It must be less than half that. Admirable work, it looks very good.

    Thanks Jack and Matt, I'm feeling the same about them, definitely enjoying them more than I thought I would! I removed the moldings in the previous post as I didn't like them, made some more and started on the columns The top and bottom pieces were a bit of a test for my eyes! Thanks for the likes, comments and looking in. Cheers Edit: can the carvings be retro fitted after everything else is done??

    I'm sure you'll enjoy your holiday, have fun with the family!

    Totally agree with the above comments, it'd be a real shame to hide your hard work. Was this an early tank? I ask because it has a very primitive look about it. Looks good though!

    Thank you nzreg and Scrubby, and thanks for the likes. I spent a couple of hours on the roofs, shaping and tiling them. I painted them in tamiya rubber black as it not jet black, and drybrushed with dark grey. on to scraping the fancy moldings. Thanks for looking in. Cheers

    Wow! Great work at that scale Gabe!! It'll be well worth the effort with the end result.

    This boat was built by the man who built a lot of the fishing boats in Sheringham, and was commissioned to build this lifeboat by the Upcher Family. He based it on the very successful fishing boats used, as it was a private lifeboat, not crewed by RNLI, who had their own craft a little way south, but by the fishermen themselves, so they would have known how to handle this type of boat. Thanks for your interest, any input, comments and lifeboat info is happily welcomed. Cheers

    So, the QGs are progressing, with some very cautious ungluing and re-gluing, the windows are so fragile 😳 I'm totally in awe of everyone who's already done this part, and made it look effortless. the roof is not glued on, just placed on to see. the opposite side is better, and with a touch of colour. I have several areas of planking, mainly between the gunports that have been, or need removing, mostly like the two in the above photo. But I'm moving forward on the build😊 thanks for the likes and looking in. Cheers

    Very nice rendition of a familiar subject, the display area is perfect, and bravo for hanging in with the model, I admit the card ones beat me😉

    It's coming to life! Looking excellent so far OC. Your pile of casualties is great, some very intricate brushwork.
