    welcome back and congratulations on the butt kicking 👍

    Hello again, as mentioned above, I was looking for a cheap scroll saw, well I got one on Ebay, only £50, so to try it out I busied myself cutting out the bulkheads for Winchelsea, but every time I looked in the workroom there was Triton waiting patiently for me to do more work on her. So back to planking and starting at the keel I fitted the garboard and began working away from the keel. Limiting my self to 3 strakes at a time is a must otherwise I would lose myself in modelling as time flies when working on these projects. Hopefully I'm getting better with Chuck's edge bending method and I'm also getting a little less messy with CA glue, although I'm still sticking my fingers to planks inadvertently Anyway thanks for dropping by and the likes til next time. Cheers 👍😉

    After having a bit of a search through I came upon a post from @bruce d about the loss of Royal Navy small ship records/logs so maybe this is why I can't find barbicans service record. I shall continue with ex crew search though. Thanks

    So, bulkhead cutting is done, so are the keel formers, I did have to re-cut the mid and stern section as for some reason these printed fractionally smaller than the bow section, all sorted now. I checked them on the drawing for size. The formers have been glued but the bulkheads are just dry fitted to test, some need a bit of tweaking on the slots. Still got the filler pieces at the bow and the stern timbers to cut. I'm doing all these cuts before I do the stem and keel to get a bit more practice with the scroll saw. Thanks for looking in. Cheers 👍😀

    Sorry meant to say, her service record is what I'm really after. Cheers
  13. Edwardkenway
    Thanks

    Yes, I got plenty on the Kangaroo, Karangi and Koala, there was quite a fair amount on Barleycorn, Baritone and Barcarole. I just struggled with Barbican as I only got the info already mentioned, plus where she was built and one picture. I'll have a look through his service record for ship mates as you suggested. Thankyou

    I agree that the boxwood would look amazing tapered and joggled but you got to get just right, whereas the laser etched deck is done. If it were me I'd go with the laser deck. Hope this helps!!

    To be honest I may or may not of let go on purpose, to see if he would go up!! For research purposes only of course 😉😁

    Just an enquiry wether anyone has any information on HMS Barbican between 1950-1958. It's home port was Rosyth and went to the Med at the time of the Suez crisis but the Egyptians closed the canal and so she stayed at Valletta. I know she was a coal burner and launched in 1939. Have searched the internet but very little comes up about Barbican, her sister ships are a bit better documented, but Barbican is the one my dad served on therefore any info gratefully appreciated. Cheers 👍😀

    Yep, I did that as a kid, great fun. I tried with one of those soldiers with a parachute that you got to throw up and they would float down, he was last seen stuck to the front of the lorry following us on the motorway 😕

    Loving the paint job Craig, really smart looking!!
  20. Edwardkenway
    Yes, a quick re-read of the log mentions he is using pear, my mistake😕 Still looks really good though!
  21. Edwardkenway
    Thanks Craig, I can get that from Amazon uk. Hopefully Dauntless parts should turn up in a week or so.👍😃
  22. Edwardkenway
    Very nice planking, love the colour of your cherry. On the strength of that I think I may go the same way as I can get cherry boards easier than AYC
  23. Edwardkenway
    Count me in OC!!
  24. Edwardkenway
    Looks good Mark, it's been fun and very informative watching, thanks 😁
  25. Edwardkenway
    And I've got this to come,🤔 I may, no, will be asking lots of questions 😉 Looking good though Craig
