  1. Not done much on the Cutter, I have tried making my own rigging hooks, At the moment I'm a bit haphazard and irregular in their shape and form, but I'll persevere. Probably need to solder the eye piece to stop them pulling apart. Thanks for looking in and the likes 😉 Cheers
  2. Again absolutely amazing!! It looks as though the tavern might be open for a flaggon or two😁🍺🍺 I think an MSW coach trip needs to be considered
  3. Great work on the bashed turret, I would not know it wasn't designed specifically for the Challenger if you hadn't said😉
  4. The rattle of iron shod cart wheels and the ring of the hammer on the anvil, it's coming to life now animals are in residence 🙂
  5. Very nice, cool lights! The base is the finishing touch.
  6. Undead cyborgs, someone at Games Workshop has a great imagination. Is there a danger to the village from them?🙃
  7. After the Vindicator is through dealing with the bugs I doubt there would much of the village left.🥴
  8. Them space Marines have got some serious hardware!!😄
  9. I totally missed this one Tim, abject apologies, it's a lovely little schooner 🙂
  10. Ahh a Tyrannid! what the village needs now are some Blood Angel Space Marines😁.
  11. Thank you kindly Glenn. I got the winning bid on the boxwood rule, £1.50 + p+p, not bad for 36 linear inches of boxwood, looks like a bit of practice making blocks is on the cards🙂
  12. I think OC knows how to do a soft blend type line or EG. Something to do with blu-tak Coming on nice Mike, I do like the grey colour!
  13. Looking good, also liking the hydra type beast attacking the wall, I think the guards are out of their depth!😁
  14. I'll get you Butler!! A great iconic bus! Nice job🙂
  15. Even the tractor has out there style 🙂
  16. But if it wasn't a bit out there it wouldn't be Lamborghini 😉
  17. Thank you for your encouraging words Derek, I have had a look on Ebay and have bid on a 36inch folding rule. If successful I'm giving blocks a go. With Syren not making rope any more and reading the articles on rope making, I'm definitely thinking of making my own ropes but will have to wait till I can get Chuck's rope rocket, but that wont be until the rush for them has died down. I shall let you know how I get on with the block making 🙂 The deck has been repaired and it's nothing the mast ring won't hide😊
  18. Thanks to everyone for stopping by 😉 I decided to have a crack at making the deadeyes for the shrouds and mainstay, the wood is cheap pine dowels from my local DIY store, therefore if I do use these on the ship they'll get painted These five took over 3 hours, but that includes all the unusable ones as well 😁 Only have another twelve to make. On the strength of this I may even attempt making the blocks too😏😬 Cheers Oh, also I've damaged the deck planking, as the drill bit snagged and jumped when enlarging the hole for the mast☹😩, I have to replace two pieces of deck plank and make a slightly larger ring for the foot of the mast, these things happen🙄
  19. Good news indeed!😄 Have fun and stay warm! Don't forget the photos 😉 Here is staying between 0°c and -2°c and that's kept me off work all week 😶
  20. Very very nice Craig, amazing build!🙂
  21. Superb! The realism is astounding, excellent workmanship 😃
  22. Another day off and some more time in the shipyard. Stanchions made, glued and painted. The rope rail is just dry fitted at the moment. I did make a boo-boo and put stanchions round to the prow until I realised that it would get in the way of the swivel posts and timber heads It was soon rectified 😏 Not sure wether to tie off the rail rope to the swivel post or terminate it at the stanchion 🤔 Just have a rail to put in at the poop deck area and then get the black paint out. Thanks for your patience and interest. Cheers. Btw Jack, a tad colder today -3 thru the day and got down to -7°c at night. Somewhere in Scotland dropped to -18°c or thereabouts. Still like a balmy spring day to you but bloody cold to me🥶😂
