    Yeah you are right it does I was going to do that when I get round to start the planking I over bevelled my last model and had to stick some deck planks to fill it out a bit wanted to try and avoid that this time thanks for noticing it

    Hello all so Iv been working on snake today I have glued the deck on as well as pinned the gunport bulwarks into position and glued the walnut keel on the stern facia and stern counter have both been applied to the model. I am all set now to start the first planking one of my favourite parts of the build.

    Hi Mike the model looks good so far it will be a good reference for me as I go through my snake I look forward to following it and seeing the finished model
  4. Liam
    This is where I am with it at the moment I have glued all the bulk heads to the keel I roughly bevelled them before glueing and have stuck mast allignment blocks in place want to wait for that to dry before I glue the stern counter frame in place .

    Hello again I have recently finished my first model hms Sherbourne which I was very pleased with the result it was ok for a first timer. I have now just started to build my second model HMS Snake I picked this model as it has multiple masts so much more rigging and it also has a copper hull so it interested me it also has rigged cannons and a bit more detail so should be a challenge. so I hope you all enjoy this one and any help and feed back will be appreciated no doubt I’ll be asking for advice along the way.
  6. Liam
    Yes I will be doing a log for the snake model looking forward to the Cooper work on it going to be a bit more challenging

    Hello all hope all is well been a while since I last posted A update I have been working on my Sherborne I am actually not to far from finishing it just doing the last few bits of rigging and touch up paint and name to be added. I have chosen my next kit decided to go with HMS snake just awaiting it to arrive
  10. Liam
    Thanks all for the help I get it now I will look into getting the relevant bits to do it 👍🏻

    This is my cannon
  12. Liam
    Thanks all for the reply I’m going to use 0.5 mm thread for it seems to look the best on the cannon itself I have another dilemma everything so far has gone to plan on the instructions till now lol 😂 while looking this up with the thread I have noticed a lot of people have used eyelets on there cannons to rig them to the hull but the plans show a 1 mm wire to be used with no loops of overhang Isit a mistake on the drawing where the wood is shows a straight wire which is what I have done but everywhere else seems to show eyelets but mine I got don’t fit the cannons ?
  13. Liam
    Hello all I got a question if anyone can answer for me please I’m about to rig the cannons to the hull but cant find anywhere what thread to use ? I thought the thick one but looks to thick for the cannons so want to be sure thanks
  14. Liam
    Hi all thought I’d post a little update I have been working out on the deck fittings and added a bit more paint to the model
  15. Liam
    Hi everyone been working on the model today managed to get all the planking finished and i done the deck planking as well I think it’s coming together nicely Not perfect but I think it looks good I think I will need to put a cannon together to see if they fit I see a couple of other logs where they needed altering
  16. Liam
    Hello all been a few days since I last posted had to wait on the stern counter to arrive thankfully it did so I have fixed and made a start on the 2 planking have also done the bulwark planning and painted the inside red
  17. Liam
    Thanks for the tips I had already started but only done 3 planks each side so I can trim up the port holes and fiddle about with it till the counter comes and I can continue with the planking 👍🏻
  18. Liam
    Thank you I’ll give both ago and work out what is better for me 👍🏻 I have looked at other sherbourne builds all have put the counter in first but the instructions say it but a scratch build I see done it after the second planking I can’t see it causing to much of a issue
  19. Liam
    Can anyone answer a few questions for me is it best for me to use superglue on the 2nd planking or wood glue ? Can I start the 2nd planking without putting the stern counter on as I am still waiting for it to arrive ?
  20. Liam
    That is so true jon I have sanded the hull ready for the 2nd planking !
  21. Liam
    Thanks Edward seems to be coming along nicely now this forum is good as I can relate back to other LS who have built it If I get a bit stuck 👍🏻
  22. Liam
    I have just put some filler on it and will post next when It is all sanded and ready for the next planking according to the instructions I have to fix the stern counter next but it was missing from my kit when I ordered it along with all the cannon frames so I’m still waiting for them to arrive should be in the next 2-3 days liam
  23. Liam
    Hi everyone thanks John I have been working on the planking over the last couple of days and just finished the first planking I have made some little mistakes but for a first attempt I think it is ok I know for next ten every stage is going to be a learning curve for me hopefully it doesn’t test me to much lol
  24. Liam
    I don’t know why there upside down they not been taken like that lol
  25. Liam
