Augie, Robbyn's right. As painful as it must be, it will help other members to know what happens in real live builds. Perhaps some 'before' and 'after' photos once you have everything shipshape again together with a brief explanation of how you fixed it would be helpful. John -
She's looking mighty fine, Mobbsie. As for your extended strops, at model scales we sometimes need to make little compromises to get the whole thing to look right in the end. John

The cutter has certainly worked well, Michael! John
-
Excellent explanation of your methods, Ron. Thank you! John
-
Thanks for the update, Lars - it's good to see her still going ahead! John

Three in a row and all framed up - great stuff, Popeye! As for a re-visit - it's hard enough getting the bank manager to agree to England to visit my mum-in-law (now 93), let alone extending to North America! John

I'm with Ed and Druxey on that - the mortises make the fitting of the cant frames much easier. John

I like the contrasting colour for the knees, Danny! John

Hmmm. I think the moral of the storey is - stay out of the water in Northern Europe! John

Just out of interest, this contemporary painting from 1775 of HMS Deal Castle might put the pristine neatness of naval ships decks and ropes into perspective. I particularly like the goat free on deck! John
-
Oh, my! That's very nice indeed! John
-
Those coils certainly look very lifelike at the moment, Danny. Maybe if the fabric setting gel does leach out of them they'll be 'set' if or when it happens. John

Hey, come on Popeye - no holding out - pictures, man, we want pictures!! John

Likewise the Trincomalee's long guns. John

She's progressing very nicely, Freek. John

She's coming along nicely, Ollie! John

Grant, John

Alexandru, Your rudder and pintles look first class. Annealing the pintles will certainly help - you may need to do this several times as brass is hardened by working it. John

She's really starting to look like the real thing, Piet! John

New to the forum, question re mast caps
Jim Lad replied to jcavin's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Hello, jcavin, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. I'm sure that one of our kit builders will be able to come to your rescue re your question about San Francisco II. John
