If you start a build log with your Norden, you can tap into loads of help and advice. But looking good to me. 👍

Hi Brian, good to see you progressing your Granado, sorry been away from MSW for a while, so playing catch-up. Looking forward to seeing those masts and yards added. -
Welcome to MSW! , also from North Yorkshire. 👋

That is a very nice build, congratulations.

Guilty as charged…. 😆

Having had chance to trawl back through the posts on this I’m astonished at the reaction from some. Think of the possibilities, Chris has a few times teased that a Centurion might one day appear in VM’s range, where would we be if we did not have a variation of the scene in post #499 with Anson and Saumarez consulting a map? Please stick with it Chris, your VM customers will support, never mind the ones carping from the sidelines.

What fantastic progress you have been making Simon , really envious! 😁 For one reason of another I have not been doing much on my Trail for a while. Glad to have yours and David’s Trial logs to check in with!

Just catching up on loads of threads, but I too would like to say I would love a set like this (or the eventual iteration of it) - hope you can resurrect a version of it at some point Chris. 😁

Fantastic updates Stergios! -
Hello all, apologies for not updating this log and in fact for being absent from MSW in general, life has got in the way, but the fact life IS getting in the way still is not something I'm complaining about! , more on that after I first have to say I have lost one of my little Dockyard companions. Our lovely little Belle has passed away a few weeks back, a grand little dog that we shall all miss terribly. 🐶 (Pictures from only this March on a break at Filey.) As for me, well it was the same old of work and such like until not long ago when I had a heart attack, but I have been very fortunate to have had speedy and excellent care from the Paramedics and the Cardiology Unit at the Hospital(s) 🚑 Hopeful of making a good recovery in time, with all the support of my family and friends. So it seems like I have some time to do some model ship building! Next update will be some progress of sorts. Thanks for the likes and comments I have missed until now. Loads of followed threads to catch-up on now! Glad to be back! 😁

Sorry to hear this Kevin and we know how you feel as we in the same situation with now with our Belle who has tumours, the vets likewise are all for operating, but we have like you decided against it for the balance between quality of life and the suffering she would go through is not right we feel, as tough a decision as it has been for us. Totally understand and support your view, shows the depth of love you have for your little friend.

Nice shelf collection, that would be years for me to build and fill those shelves. 😆

The other thing to consider is if you are going to rig your cannons. I have found out the hard way it is easier to rig them off the model than on. So you could leave the eyelets off until you rig them (if you are). I made a little jig to do the cannon rigging on my Trial and @Thukydides has really good posts on his Alert build log on his process for pre-rigging cannon. Agreed opening out holes in bulwark sides is a bit fiddly, but slow and steady usually works out.

Hello from the Scottish North Coast
AJohnson replied to Scottish Guy's topic in New member Introductions
Hi Micha, Welcome to MSW! I have fond memories of the far North coast, we had many family holidays in the Durness and Balnakiel bay area. Good luck with your next project, hope you do a build log. Vanguard Models do a couple of really nice Scottish trawlers aimed at beginners
