Its ok, its all recorded ok, 2.5 gb worth and will edit it and upload.

15 mins to start, just having breakfast.

Thanks guys, its going to be hard work doing it so early but we will get there, I am not expecting anyone to follow along, that's why its being recorded. I will have to move at a good pace but will explain things as I go, just like the way we taught at Uni. But you will understand the logic of the process and how to apply it to different forms. I will stop every hour for 10 mins for coffee breaks to. just preparing the latest lines from Lloyds now for the example as they are seriously deformed

Guys someone has tried to log into the workshop 3-4 days out and as a result we have been bombarded with emails Please don't log into in yet.

That's no different to Cutty Sark lines really, this cutter was showing the hull including the skeg but anyway same thing.

Thanks for the tip Roger, yeah I intend to finish most plates to primer base before fixing and applying weld bead. I was more hoping to get some advice from those with more experience than I on the actual painting order when it comes to topcoat, I was not very clear I am afraid, but wondering if it would be a crime to paint it in areas tat are completed to shell but not fitted out and then touch up once fittings are attached etc, I would think touch ups could actually make it more realistic really as ships are constantly re painted and touched up Well I have assembled the lid frame. or 3 upper levels of Superstructure , I have it just sitting in place, no its not seated yet and is crooked but could not resist leaning parts against it to get a sense of size and bulk. Keep in mind this is all just substrate and final ,5mm ply plating will be glued to this 2mm ply with actual opening sizes, ports etc are 1.5mm smaller all around than the holes you see here.

Also in this shot of Cutty Sark's aft end you can see the same situation happens which we will cover, the counter is nothing more than an elliptical extension of the transom built from cant frames as you can see here.
-
Do you mean like this sort of situation? where the sternpost becomes the counter, or in steel shipbuilding terms where the Oxter plate is.

Just click the link, you may have to install the app, I have disabled cameras but am recording.

When I ask for requests, I mean has has anyone got any problems they want covered that have hindered them in their ship modelling journey as I can probably show how to overcome it. I will be recording it at my end anyway as well. @fnkershner Do you mean like my one in here
-
less than week to go, any requests?

Well the hull and superstructure will be clad this weekend and I will be staring to think about the final outer platers made from .5mm ply. I want to ask the scratch builders watching this about their experience with painting, you have seen the size of this model but in paint regards I don't think that its a huge difference to how you approach it, I want to ask you guys for your opinions on how I should proceed with painting, things like do it in stages, paint plates before fitting or paint small areas as I go, things like that, Its something I don't have a lot of experience with so want to have a discussion about it to see what people think. I know how to use guns and airbrushes, that's not the issue but the actual process and flow is what I would like your experiances of.

The upper portion is only screwed on so it can be removed and bottom carved separately, not only that the running gear can be installed far more easily. The upper would be crushed by weight of bottom, its quite lightweight to help with stability

Been a slow week as we were getting some major landscaping done ready for Xmas and the 4 day job turned into 5 and even though they have only done 25% of the work they have torn up the contract and walked off leaving us with a heck of a mess. Today is first day back into it to take my mind off it. Starting to clad hull

I can't show full image or copyright reasons but she is either slowly going aft or forward out of berth, no wake to see or thruster wash either, no anchor cables down. I have hundreds of images of her and only one with these up, I have many of her at berth and at anchor and none have balls... weird hey. They are always present on ship and sitting at base of mast between the splayed blades at base of mast ready to hoist.

Thanks John Right I need some assistance for a couple of things. What do these balls on aft mast signal and when are they raised up the mast?. Secondly is anyone able to identify this radar? and if so have any clearer pics of it. Most radar equipment was Kelvin Hughes. the scanner I only have serial number 14064 Specification gives this.
