  1. Don't bin it EG!! Try free hand, it's all experience and these things are sent to try us😬😬😖 She's only noted it 😉 it's when your allowance gets stopped is when you worry 😥
  2. My granddaughter was watching me the other day doing some work on my Cutter, after 5 or so minutes walked off saying that she wouldn't have the patience to make a model. 🙄 So I think that unless it's instant gratification like a video game, they tend not to bother. That said there are younger people modelling.
  3. Looks good, I liked those small bomber kits when I was younger as they didn't take up too much room 😏 Denis(popeye the sailor) is the fella to tap up for tail heavy bomber solutions 😉
  4. Do you mind if I ask, did you have the gunport pattern made or did you cut it yourself? It is taking shape, looking good
  5. Yep, so glad it has turned out good, you must feel you've built this dozens of times, but you got there and it looks awesome. Great work EG praise for hanging on in there.
  6. Coming on nicely OC, are you doing it as a Falklands aircraft? I remember watching them on the news. Awesome aircraft.
  7. It's coming together well Robby, in my opinion a good smooth base is a must for 2nd planking.(I tend to put more filler on and keep sanding)
  8. Thanks OC and mugje, and thanks for the likes. So planking continues slowly, with the bulwarks between the mainwale and the sheer. I'm forming the gunports as I go instead of cutting them out later. ( there will only be six guns mounted) I mocked up a cannon to check clearance. Just a cardboard cut out and glued to a scrap of what will be the deck. That's it til next time. The shipyard is being re-modelled to make room for Winchelsea so work stops as I have no bench at the moment. Cheers
  9. What a great idea, I'll borrow that if I may. Cheerful is looking really good, your planking is very tidy and looks perfect with the wop finish 👍
  10. Yes, I love the stories of the Trojan war and subsequent tales of Odysseus trials and tribulations trying to get back to Ithaka and Penelope. I will enjoy watching his ship being built.
  11. That scene is absolutely stunning OC. It would not look out out place in an exhibition at Hendon!!! Great work, well executed. I love it😃
  12. Lovely work Patrick, there's a few years work on those shelves by the looks of them
  13. Yes, very nice looking ship. Have fun with the rigging of her
  14. Wow, you're not going down the easy route, it'll look superb when you've put your stamp on it😃
  15. Looking good Liam, first planking doesn't necessarily have to be perfect because sanding and filler will help to get a nice and smooth base for the second planking. Edit your second post beat me to it 😉
