You've done yourself proud with those quarter badges, they look much, much better than the supplied castings. Just a thought, but would it be possible to etch the roof tile pattern onto the wood rather than make them as a separate piece or maybe use a modelling putty for them and also the other details?- 950 replies

Keep the faith EG she looks alright! She will look like lightning when "plated"😁

I had the exact same issues here and tweaked the frames to fit the plan then remade the top fillers, I just need to sand the pieces to fit.

Very nice Tiger Mark, I really like the minimalist look it's got going on😄

I'm inclined to agree with you both, as a child one of my favourite plastic airfix kits was Brunels SS Great Western the side wheel steamer with full rigging and went to Bristol to see SS Great Britain

Alaskan yellow Cedar is apparently good for carving, I think Chuck has used it for that purpose, but I could be mistaken. He does stock it though, quite reasonably priced as well. (I'm not affiliated with Syren Ship Model Company) Just my two pennies worth.

Don't be too hard on yourself OC, I think looks fantastic, very royal navy, wouldn't look out of place on HMS Illustrious. Edit: further research suggests that mk3 were on Hms Victorious and mk2 were on Illustrious

A room of her own with a pond! Won't freeze over in winter🤪

7 inches shy of 4ft, I think you need to find her a room of her own!😏 I thought Winchelsea was big at 38 inches and she's not going to be rigged.

One of my favourite periods, if you haven't already read them I can recommend Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series and C.S Forester's Death to the French and The Gun EG even subconsciously through novels I still struggle, I'm great with pointless info but for anything else I have to have in front of me

Getting there nicely. I'll look forward to the end result Denis 😁

She's come on well, considering she was destined for the bin!😋 Nice!

EG how do you recall all the info? I read alot of history ref books but struggle to remember the facts I read.

WOW!! That's huge, that must include the bowsprit and the boom. No wonder Jack has got to rearrange to display it. Did you have a good trip Craig?
-
Found you!!😉 promising start Jack, that hull must be about 2ft long!
