  1. A quick update, the masts are finished and moving on to the final assemblies on the hull such as chain plates. Next up adding the blocks and rigging to the yards before finally commencing rigging! 😬 Thanks for the likes.
  2. Wow, that depth charge looks so neat Chris, very precise work!
  3. Really good to see you back at this one Dave! 🍿
  4. Welcome to MSW! Great first model!
  5. Welcome to MSW!
  6. The Carronade rig does look very neat, I found 2mm blocks a real challenge rigging the cannons on Trial, will be following to see how you get along. Do you use magnifying glasses?
  7. Very nice Alan, and like you say a change from a standing figure! 👏
  8. An update! A bit overdue, but progress is slowly being made, I just needed some time to update my log instead of looking at everyone else's on MSW! 😁 The main mast has also now largely been constructed, using the same techniques as the others with various card and styrene rod embellishments for the mast hoops and reinforcements. I also used wire for the stanchions of the fighting tops rear handrail; I didn't fancy the chances of delicate wood stanchions surviving my rigging efforts later, or the chances of me adding the handrail once the rigging is on. Also been tying blocks to the masts as I have been going along, so as not to leave all that to do in one hit. Hopefully the next update (not as long a time gap as this one! 🤞) will be the masts completed. Then on to adding blocks to the yards, before the dreaded "R" word we don't mention.... Thanks for looking in. 👋
  9. Superb work again Alan, I keep forgetting these are only 54mm figures! You certainly like your small models, great painting skills.
  10. Very good planking, the Sherbourne has lovely lines, shown off well by your careful work.
