  1. Welcome to model ship world! Regards Geordie
  2. A very good start to your Sherbourne. She is a great ship to build. Looking forward to your updates. Regards
  3. A lovely looking model, James. Your ratlines are looking rather splendid. Regards
  4. Thank you Andrew. Also thank you for the thread. I will delve into it now. Regards
  5. You can't go wrong with picking up the Sherbourne kit. It is a fantastic kit and their are some very informative build logs on this site dealing with her. Regards
  6. Build log 4 - Upper rails, Bulwark painting and Deck fittings. Various deck fittings had their char removed and then assembled with PVA. All parts were then treated with AK Interactive Matt Varnish. The tops of the standards were painted with AK Interactive Black. The wales had their char removed and were coated with AK Interactive Matt Varnish. The wales then had two coats of AK Interactive Black paint applied. Wales applied using PVA glue and pinned in place. Once the wales had dried, I snipped the ends of the pins and applied a coat of AK Interactive Black paint to the pin area. The upper rails were glued on (PVA) and clamped in place over night. The upper bulwarks were painted black using the method described previously. This is how Adder looks so far. I am currently researching how to rig the 24 pounder Cannons and the 18 pounder Carronades. I hope to share my progress on this within the next few days, time permitting. Thank you for reading my build log. Regards Geordie
  7. Congratulation on the completion of your build. I have enjoyed watching this fantastic model take shape. Regards
  8. Billy is looking mighty fine already. Lovely bit of weathering as well. Regards
  9. Very smart looking. The toggles look very nice sitting atop the tops. Regards
  10. I like the contrast of the black handle and bare wood of the quoin. However you are the captain in charge, so ignore me and go with what you think will suit best. Judging by your previous builds, whatever you choose to do will look great. I am currently trying to figure out the fittings and sizes for my ships guns, so seeing the work you are doing with yours is proving really informative. Regards
  11. I am glad the AK Interactive paints have worked out for you. They seem to be a good acrylic paint range so far. I have ended up using the regular black for my wales now. It does look like a nice colour so far. I think for my next ship, I might still have a go at mixing my own though. Regards
  12. The Cavalry Brown and Scarlet Red mix has a nice richness to it. Regards
