Carrying on with the saga - On the poop deck general quarters is called using the ships bell, while still on the poop deck another pirate checks the map, on the main deck peg leg joe comes over sword in hand , and at the same time another brings a chest up the front ladder from the main gun deck. OC.

Excellent work - what a difference between the different deck mediums - and wow you must have so much patience doing all those tree nails. OC.

Could try a couple of columns/pedestals one slightly longer than the other to get the lean you want? OC.

Couple of columns or perhaps a couple of frames - depends if you want them decorative or invisible? OC.

Very nice work - its difficult making a small ship detailed and true to life as many kit fittings tend to be over scaled, I have been over one of the actual replica Hinds and can vouch for how small they are. With regards to your next build Victory I will look forward to that - that will be crying out for all your extra details. OC.

They look perfectly to scale - some canons in kits that I have seen (and used) have been way over scale. OC.

Just found these very old files of an old build I did some years ago - not so much a build talk through - the only info really is it was a straight out of the box build of the Royal Navy Sea King Search and rescue version, it went together very well except for a terrible join where the one piece windscreen fits, this needed some considerable effort and glue to close the gap. I panted it with a hairy stick and Humbrol enamels and a top coat (humbrol again I think). Just a few pics. OC.

So the story so far - Captain Jack is near the helm and his look out on the poop is looking to his rear east, at the same time a boat hand is hanging around in the boat while a look out in the main tops see's something and yells down, on the main deck the commodores daughter tries to wave - while one of the pirates pulls his pistol on her, at the same time one of the pirates comes down the shrouds and another sword in hand races towards the forecastle ladder - more to follow. OC.

Hi all, more additions to the crew starting with "tommy two shoes" then the commodores daughter trying to get someones attention to rescue her, OC.
-
Thank you mate, I intend to add about 18 crew to her and give it a kind of scene with the pirates following a certain look. OC.
-
Thank you phil, I was actually dissapointed not doing more on her this evening back on her tomorrow though. OC.
-
I love how the canons/carriages have turned out - excellent work phil. OC.
-
Lovely work to a very high standard. OC.
-
Nice and tidy mark. OC.

Its a challenge denis as the plastic the figures is made from is that horrible soft stuff and cant very well be sanded/cut/scraped or filed, it tends to leave little rough pieces stuck to it and cutting the base's away to just leave the feet is another pain. OC.
