Welcome to MSW!

Glad you have the angular turret in the kit. I think the rounded turrets were recovered from old Type 21 Frigates etc. and the angular ones were made new for some of the Type 23s. They were nicknamed the “Kryten” turret, named after the character from Red Dwarf Sci-fi Comedy series.

Unusual to see a Spitfire with such "prominent" nose art! 😆 Good job Andy!

Welcome to MSW! As an experienced Fly tyer your seizing and knots should be good for rigging!

Hi Alan, an interesting subject, I shall be following along. I like the look of the T23’s, very hard working ships, particularly the vital TAPs role they have. Hope your father makes a good recovery and doesn’t cause you any more distractions!

Looking good Geordie. This is a good thread on gun carriage rigging:- https://modelshipworld.com/topic/21776-carriage-gun-rigging/

You are spoiling us Chris, most (if not all other manufacturers) would say "like it or lump it!"

Thanks all for the "likes" and the kind comments. As a small update, I've been working on the yards, all fairly repetitive stuff so just a couple of sample pictures for where I have got to so far. And yes I have left the most complicated ones until the end! 🙄 - Fore and Main lower and topsail yards, hope to have these done in the next week or so. Thanks for looking in.

Great work Tom, very busy looking deck, and that is before the masts and boats!
-
Intriguing subject Mike, love it!
-
Great progress Andy, I have also built this kit last year (just did it out of the box and with the box top scheme decals), a nice little kit and as you have been finding with your two builds of it, it goes together really well. 😁

Interesting you are experimenting on the various blacks to use. I have used "Tenberous Grey" on my HMS Bounty I'm building now; it has a nice warm tone to it that I think suits wood. Also used the "Smoke Black" and "Rubber Black" from AK which can be used for surfaces that receive good illumination to provide some contrast to the more standard dull blacks.

Outstanding as usual David, looking forward to seeing the masts and yards.

Good to see another Adder build log, great progress Geordie! 👏
-
Another outstanding build Chris! 👏
-
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.

Indeed, very impressive Alan!
