  1. Thank you Chris, yes you can share the link. I wasn't aware of the forum, and thanks for the info.
  2. Finished! I was very pleased with this model and i want to thank you all for the company on this journey. Now I have to think about what will be next. Maybe someone in the 1/700 scale!
  3. The initial placement has begun and coming to the end there were some final details and the installation of the bow rigging.
  4. I found a relatively easy way to make multi-ended ropes. Of course, the difficulty remains in the final placement.
  5. The first steps have been taken. Studying the relatively simple drawings in the instructions, it seems that it will probably be relatively easy!
  6. I have it too and it is indeed a very good kit. One of the next kits I will build for sure.
  7. I initially tried to solder the masts but due to my soldering iron malfunctioning I ended up soldering them with CA after cutting a notch in the mainmast to fit the horizontals better. The complete masts ready and placed on board
  8. I am thinking for my next project to start the 1/700 SMS Emden but the instructions don't include rigging!. I am wonder why. 😀
  9. You're probably right, the word fun might not be the most appropriate, but it's certainly included in the process! 😀
  10. The most part of the bow is complete. Next the most difficult and fun part of assembly , masts and rigging!
  11. The base for main gun, ammo and other parts placed. and before that, test fitting the main gun.
  12. Capstan , chain and other details added to bow. Next stage the structure for main gun.
  13. Today cranes and other equipment added next to 2pdr Gun. Many other parts need to prepared as two single-mounted .303 Vickers machine guns or Browning 0.5-calibre machine guns for anti-aircraft defence and two twin-mounted .303 Lewis machine guns . I have to decide if I will place them and how I will build them..
  14. I know, I know, but I couldn't resist 😀
  15. For the main gun i decide to use some spare parts from Micromaster 3D. The details in the parts are remarkable!
  16. I prepared the ammo for the 4" main gun from 0.63mm styrene rod about 1mm long. Strangely in the manual although they are pictured there are no instructions or material for making them.
  17. Thank you druxey, and apologize to all members for the poor picture quality since I'm take them from my cell phone in a hurry!! As a long time photographer I have to post better photos at the first opportunity.
  18. The 2pdr gun and support structure prepared and putted in place.
  19. I don't know 🤔 the use of this "equipment" but I used styrene that I sanded to get the right shape.
  20. And the rear 2pdr gun ready for final assembly.
  21. Very busy these days but I was able to partially fit the cranes and pulleys and shape one of the two main gun from brass tube.
  22. For today i prepared the cranes for the two boats adding some extra details as pulleys. I also uploaded a short video of the model in its current construction phase.
  23. It's been a while and I was able to finish some builds in between.
