The head gratings are in place.
They need some trimming and some paint work.The knight heads are just dry fitted.
I extended the beak head and will paint it when I paint the gratings.
I just need to make two fashion pieces that sit on top of the head rails and two double seats of ease and the head will be complete.
I’m holding off on making the boomkins until I get further along so I don’t break them.
Very tidy work phil, coming together now.

Beakhead extension
Thats the ticket phil, should help the tention on the bowsprit when you fit it and rig it.

Just out of interest - for any future builds you guys are doing etc - can you get scale metal chains for bikes? thought they would look supweb.

Just a suggestion phil - where the beak head comes up and you have it flush with the heads decking, it would be good if you made an extion of the beak head as I understand it was designed so the bowsprit can rest on it.
You would need to test dry fit the bowsprit first to get an idea of how much gap there is under neath where the beak head comes through.

That looks really smart - adds so much depth to the front will look reaaly nice with the blue paintwork.

According to documentation provided at this site, Terror's bulwarks were painted yellow. The exact shade is not described, but the Admiralty must have had some sort of standardized color scheme for vessels of that type and period.
Great start, I would have thought yellow ocre as it was quite a standardized paint.

Welcome rusty, I have to agree with phil its quite a good starting kit, Im sure most would agree best action with it is to think your way through it stage by stage, try dry fitting in stages to get a feel for things, but most of all ask as many questions as you want even if you think it sounds daft or not important (we have all been there) most of all take your time and enjoy.

This was the first modelship I ever built as a kid - sat at the window table for hours over several days building this - thank you for reigniting my memories.
