Robbyn, OcCre was started by a group of former AL people. Long story short: The owner of AL decided to move many operations to SE Asia. Anyway, I've heard that OcCre are step up. You might look in the gallery to see what's been finished and PM the builder for their opinions. Footnote: I see several OcCre Montanes, an Albatross, a Santisima Trinidad and others. All together 8 builds. You have search for OcCre.

Nicely presented Michael. Thanks. I take it you move and re-calibrate the fence for each additional slice?.

Marius, Go here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/forum/52-hms-triton-28-gun-frigate/ and then go into the downloads area for the plans.

Brian, On the spar, fore, quarter decks, they were probably stored on the bulwarks. On a gundeck, from pictures and paintings I've seen, they were stored on overhead beams. There were hooks for their storage. As for being on a model, most kits don't have the beams. Most scratch types, it's tough to add them. I think they're seldom shown as seeing them is almost impossible. On the other hand, some modelers have put these items around some cannon to indicate the cannon is in use.

Drazen, It is your choice. Do as much or as little in way of catch up as you want. Some people are doing a full restore and others are just doing a quick summary or review.

A very nice planking tutorial, Ron. Reading the docs are one thing, seeing done is another. And excellent treenailing.
-
Caroline, Not only a beautiful build, but it has working gun port lids, too!?! Wow.. I'm thinking it's time you start thinking about the "darkside"...
-
Should we start boiling the water and melting the butter?
-
Nice work on the wheels, Wim. Seems we spend almost as much time doing touch up as we do building, doesn't it?

Pete, Try a mix of water and white glue at 50-50. Test it. You might have to go down on the glue. If use this, form the sail and then let the cloth dry. It can add a nice billow. I've also seen hairspray, starch, and matte finish (diluted) polyeurtothane varnish used. Oh... and did I mention test... test.. test before putting anything on the sail?

Ah... finally caught up with the Lobster Twins...
-
Sjors, Nice work on the head. And a nice picture of you and the bus.
-
Bob, Excellent work on the gun and the rigging. I think there should have been another set of tackles to return the slide forward to firing position. Probalby rings on the slide and two more near the front of the base.
-
John, That's for the rear pivit pin. The gun could be rotated and then pinned at either the front or the back.
-
Fortres, Please post your pictures in the Gallery. Then modify your post to link to the gallery instead of "hijacking" Alexandru's build. Thanks.

It's nice to see you and your Reale de France returning, Gimo.
-
Cool.. the Goth is back. I was wondering if we'd see her again.
-
Marvelous skylight Popeye. Looks great.
-
Augie, You're moving right along again. Popeyes picking up the pace. Sjors is being Sjors. Once more all is well in the world. Lovely standing rigging, by the way, which helps make everything well again.

Mike, Good to see you and Aggy back.
-
No pressure Mobbsie... well, maybe from Sjors. But when the time is right, we do want pictures.
-
Very nice work, Rosmarie. I had a hard time figuring out it was paper until I went back and started at the top again.
-
Patrick, Getting the ratlines done is a milestone, though it feels like a millstone when you're in the middle of them.. I'm looking forward to see the full ship pictures.
-
Jan, Wonderful work. The rigging is coming along well and looking very nice.
