That is so well done. You have to be so happy. Congratulations!! -
Ginger beer might make good mix for the rum 😋 lol . The first Mate watched your video, well done nicely and gently put in the bottle , you see she says no major damage to his. None of this ram it in and done stuff. Lol. Then she says that I should try another ship in the bottle . It was with great satisfaction that I said, I have to finish all the models I bought before I can buy another (five left to build ) Lol, She can't wait to see it finished A wonderful journey!!!

Well after measuring and marking all the gun ports, I drilled holes then used the dremel . They all went on fine except for one. I made the hole just a little bit more than I wanted, but I can fix that Lol. All the gun ports are on. The plan show the gun port on the top right, the little one , the plan shows it on sideways, I look on line some are sideways some are like all the rest. I made mine all the same way. Now just have a few whalers and the ladder up the side of the ship and both sides will be finished to a point. Then it's either the bow and anchors or stern and the rudder. Both have details to keep me busy. The gun ports look good let's just hope I measured right lol . That's it for awhile, got to help out a freind for a few weeks so won't have much modeling time but we will see lol

Got to agree!! Nice work!!

Way to go neatly done. I tried a few of these, I agree with taking care not to over bend, but my problem was when I went to put tab A into slot B my hands would shake so much parts just started coming off lol so I gave up. You really needs steady hands for this tiny work, My hats off to you Robert , Steady as it go's. lol

Thanks everyone. Today I resumed my Mayflower, going back to the start of the build to do things that I knew I could put off until later, like the gun ports. I ran into a few problems finishing the Pinta because of, ok I do that later lol. Because there was a pause in this build I got side tracked, I did a Hannah ship in the bottle that turn out well. Also a couple of Metal models, The Queen Anne's Revenge which turn out ok. But the Iron Star Viking metal model was a failure for me. To tiny to thin, unforgiving little ship so I chucked it. After that I really want to start my Nina model but this Mayflower is so much fun I have to finish it. So Back to work lol. I decide to start at the beginning and , wait for it, follow the instructions LOL. On to the gun ports, I made some marks on a piece of planking then transferred it to the ship. Then drill just inside of the marks, and used my dremel to make the hole. A little fix up with a blade in the corners and done. Now I will turn it over and do the other side well I still have those marks on the stick. They should be in the same place when done. The first gun port is on looks good. We will see how long this takes me it feels like a slow process but happy to do it 😊.
