No rush, no pressure, Håkan. Family comes first including house chores, etc.

Wintergreen got a reaction from KeithAug in Atlantica by Wintergreen – Scale 1:30 - POF - sail training ketch - a smack of English heritage
Just to be clear - I have not abandoned the build. It has just been summer followed by a crazy autumn with no spare time or time to spare.
The shop is slowly being organized back into being fit for model building and not window frame renovations.
It will take some time still, but have faith, I will be back on the Atlantica build before long.
Cheers!

Just checking out your work so far, Håkan. Beautifully done. Glad to know that this will be continued.

Wintergreen got a reaction from AON in HMS Bellerophon 1786 by AON – scale 1:64 – 74-gun 3rd Rate Man of War - Arrogant-Class
Ouch! That was a black Wednesday to say the least.
And hopefully, depending on the "tearing out" procedure, there are bits an pieces you can reuse so you don't have to do everything all over.
We're supportive, as ever.
Keep it up!

Wintergreen got a reaction from druxey in Atlantica by Wintergreen – Scale 1:30 - POF - sail training ketch - a smack of English heritage
Soo, this was a funny little piece to piece together, piece by piece, so to say. All dovetails and pins handcut with jewellers saw and filed to fit.
It is the forward hatch and stairway just aft of the main mast. I decided to give it a wash of staining to dampen the quite white appearance of it. In order to match I sanded the main hatch coaming also and applied a wash to it too. When dry I will give it a quick touch up with 320 grit paper and apply a couple of layers of laquer.
The bottom edge is sanded to the same rise as the deck beams so I used the top edge as index when mating all the corners.
The two small blocks in the upper right corner (one with an arrow) was used to get the right size of the openings, and also keep things fair and square.
Here it is still moist after the staining hence the quite dark colour. It is not glued in place yet either. The real deal was through bolted from top down through the deck beams. I will not bother with that. I know my limitations (I think). 😉
Cheers guys!

Wintergreen reacted to FlyingFish in Vigilance of Brixham (BM 76) by FlyingFish - 1:32
Thanks for comments, likes and visits.
Version 2 now framed, and stregthening blocks glued in place. I may do some more infill before planking, but it all seems pretty rigid and the distance between frames is small. A couple of 'side by side' shots to show the comparison between the building methods. The first took many months more than the second! Not far off planking now.
All for now!
