Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback, people are well aware that we are usually very critical of our own work and all the thumbs and comments are really appreciated.

A little more progress, a bit of fettling to get a good fit on the gunwales, and I’ve no idea why some pics are upside down
-
Thanks for the kind comments.

Decks on, only partially rigged the cannon as I didn’t think I could make a realistic job of the blocks. had a slight gap on the bow deck so I removed part of the remaining deck maple and covered it with this, a bit of artistic license

Your correct, the N is wrong, but the X is OK, I’ve corrected this, another positive aspect of the Mig acrylic glue is that removal is easy. Thanks for the catch.

I just took my time and was pragmatic about how clean I could get them, I also took less off the bottom and it creates a good shadow line, it doesn’t look too bad.

Thanks, it’s my second ship model so I’ve followed the manual exactly, it’s a great kit. I have built many RCA’s aircraft tho many years ago. is there a hard copy of mast instructions available?
-
Not much completed this week, I’m beginning to hate char though lol. oh I did make the cannon too.
-
Slow week, found the deadeyes very taxing and wasn’t able to replicate the angles of the iron work to the drwgs. accurately.
-
Anyone got a fitting deadeyes into the PE for dummies please.
-
Blinged up, I’m not going to paint the hull or copper it.
-
Ammo Mig Ultra glue, good for small pe parts too, or use Vallejo polyurethane varnish

Your too kind.

More bling, the resin detail was the hardest part to fit to this point. Need a bit of clean up around the lettering. my wax photo etch pencil proved invaluable.
-
Added a little bit of the bling, decided not to go white or coppered.
-
Added some of the most fragile parts to date, took a while along with trying to reduce the char.

I’m commencing from completion of second planking as much has been covered in other posts. This is my second model and I’ve tried to follow the build manual verbatim, nevertheless a few mistakes have been made. Glad for any feedback

Try soaking the area and use a clamp to bring it back to shape

When masking I always add a coat of varnish over the tape before applying the colour, it helps prevent bleeding.

James did you varnish all the non painted wood as you built? We’re the etched decks varnished? thanks
