Thanks all for your kind words Ian, Wow! That's really an awesome work!! I really should have seen that earlier.. I think I should spend some times on scratch build log from now on I love how he executed the side galleries. Let's see how can I improve that when my orders arrive Thanks for the link!

Cont' For the head and foot, I used balsa block to shape them. I think there is certainly better wood for it, but balsa is the current wood material I have enough to build them. Now, the head on the stern gallery is added. Again, to ease my work I removed the club shape on the head, and made it smooth instead. By using leftover wood from the stern filler, I added them at the bottom. That little curve might help designing my gallery And again, plank them all using 0.2mm x 4mm walnut strips which left from my Pearl. Up till now, it's already a week. When every piece is glue, it looks like this. Anyway, it's still not glued to the ship. After painting... Now it's time to add the white border line to the gallery. By using unused (due to modification) 2mm x 5mm walnut strip from the kit, I profiled a 'U' shape it like what we can see on the Trincomalee. So, this is now the gallery looks like now. I'm running out of extra wood strips and couldn't continue already. Anyway, I've just placed an order from CMB and it might take around 2 weeks to reach Malaysia. I also included some cast metal of Amati, which at least looks better than the Corel kit ones in the website. Let's hope for the best! Whilst waiting, I'll continue on the bulwark planking and other fittings first. Thanks for viewing!

Stern Modification - 1 The stern decoration provided by Corel is made of cast metal, and its details isn't that satisfying. So, I planned to rework on the stern gallery. I've been searching for examples of ship with black and white colour scheme, and I found the Trincomalee would be the best to refer to. H.M.S. Trincomalee I'm really loving it. Simple and beautiful, and with its name on it. So, I started to work out mine. I copied over the size of the cast metal provided by the kit and made a simple plan on the gallery. I've also made the windows to rectangular shape to ease my work. Then I cut out 2 holes on the sides of the ship, as a 'see through' from the side windows. The frame of the stern is made of 4mm x 4mm walnut strips. Gap in between is the height of the newly designed windows. Well, for the creased 'blue print'... I mistaken it as unused paper, and thrown it away... XD And I was real lucky to find it back the next day After some measurement and trial, the side frames are done too. It looks like a weirdo plug... I added planks on the sides by using 3mm x 3mm strips. And made 2 holes for the windows. cont'

Just noticed that I missed out Nick and Sam's reply... sorry about that Thanks all of you I used acrylic paint which is used for mural painting.. they are some leftovers from the school of my parents I applied at least 3 layers on each color except black. Cheers

Hi Craig, It's done by hand brush

the bulwark planking looks great, Ian I'm currently working on the stern parallel with the bulwark planking, but I did them without the vertical ones.. I've just notice that the main mast also fall into the modified area. Great move! now, more details can be seen on the 2nd deck! Cheers

sorry to hear about that, Craig.. hope you can get that fixed soon

Hi Peter, Thanks for your compliment Yea, the Unicorn is really a good model to add on a lot of modification And I got some lucks on the colour Hi Ollyweb, I've tried search through CMB, but I can't find any Diana's plan... anyway, I think Pegasus is quite similar to Diana. You can check out some plans here: http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/victory-models-plans.html
