The update you're having when you're not having an update! No photos at the moment, but just a quick not to let you know that the4 'Pritt' is still creeping ahead. I'm still working on drawing the frames and making frame blanks, but hopefully next time I'll have the framing jig made up and something a bit more progressive to report on! John- 745 replies

Andy, I think the fourth angles strut from the right looks about 0.005MM out. Very well done on the second strut, mate. John

Sherry, The stuff I used is 'Pinkysil' two component silicone mould maker, and 'Procast' medium set rigid polyurethane casting resin. These are both made by an Australian company called Barnes Products Pty Ltd. Their local shop web site has a lot of interesting information on it - http://www.barnes.com.au/catalog/index.php They also have some helpful 'how to' stuff on you tube that can be accessed from the web site. Hopefully this will give you enough information to atrack down what you need over there. John

Sherry, I moulded the carronades for my Stag (1:96) from resin. I made a master from wood and copper wire and used that to make a mould - it worked extremely well. I had never tried resin casting prior to this and found the whole process slightly messy, but very simple to do. If you have 100+ cannons to make, you could probably make several moulds from your master and then go into mass production. John

Very nice job on a bit of tricky joinery, Danny! John

Just catching up, Toni - she looks great. I go away for a week and you build half a model! John
