  1. As Ken said😉 The pale planking is a good way of accentuating the gunport banding.
  2. Hakeswill, Sharpey lad. Nasty piece of work, played brilliantly by Pete Postlethwaite in the TV series
  3. Can't wait to see you paint these guys OC. The French had better watch out😊
  4. Probably Sgt Patrick Harper 😉 as the set looks like Captain Richard Sharpe and his Chosen Men (Bernard Cornwell series of books). Wasn't that gun intended for use by the Royal Marines from the fighting tops? If it the same gun, the navy discarded it, as the fierce kick threw the Marines off their feet, often, and sent them crashing to the deck🤕😒
  5. Looking good Jack, after the hull, the bulwarks should be reasonably straightforward 🤔
  6. The meds for BP do some strange things! my Admiral has some for hers, and looks like she's elsewhere at times😕 Hope you get it sorted Mark
  7. Looks like I'm a little late, just settling down in the rafters for this one. Good luck Craig 👍
  8. Beautiful hull Glenn, the cedar is gorgeous! While I agree with Garthog, I'm also itching to watch you rig Cheerful, and once rigged I'm sure she'll still be mire than worthy of a place in a museum or discerning collection 😉
  9. Wow Eric, you've been a busy man since my last visit to your build, the banner looks very nice, and your continued rope making is producing some very nice rope! The planking you've started is also looking good. Congrats on acquiring the Medway Longboat. That particular model is on my wishlist 😉 Keep up the good work🙂
  10. Looking good from where I'm sitting 🙃 nothing at all wrong with slooow planking, I do it all the time😏
  11. Definitely good news your good lady is well and that you still building even if it ain't your USS Gwin. Good luck for your future builds brother!
  12. Castello imo is easier to work than European/English boxwood I'm using both at the moment and the English boxwood pen blanks are noticeably hardstanding the ruler wood, which as druxey stated is very good quality wood, and if you are lucky with the prices, very good value.
  13. They do seem to have the upper hand, but when Mr Rickenbacker turns up the tables could turn 😏
