Evening shipmates, more progress with the cabin bulkhead - I fitted a wood facier around the curved roof section, and while this was sticking I decided to attack the door frame, this has a curved top but after several attempts at bending some 2x1mm strip against the grain with water and heat tool - no good, so plan number two was to do the sides sepaerate and the top by two pieces joined together then sanded to shape. While this was setting I turned my attantion to building the first of four windows - I went with square windows but decided to fit some clear plastic behind to simulate glass - this was done by laying the plastic sheet on the cutting mat and adding each window frame in turn to the sheet, then with gorilla glue and seven frames later a window was formed. I touched up the rear of the window with black paint then when dry glued the first one in place on the bulkhead, next of I added some wood trim to the top that follows the line under the curved rail. So next off will be three more windows - A few pics to show the progress. OC..thumb.JPG.0ba16ddac2ffb121021f89a98c20a68d.JPG)

Good evening all, today I started working on some of pearls details - in the kit the molded rear bulkhead that contains the captains cabin door and windows is wrongly shaped infact even the door is best suited to a mouse as its way to small, so first thing to do was a bit of butchery by cutting out the curved section, I found using my sharp scalpel was best to do this, after cutting it away I decided to apply some heat with a hairdryer to the piece removed, then on the table I was able to flaten it, then after trimming some of the ends I was able to glue it back in place (but as a flat bulkhead not rounded). Next was to increse the size of the mouses door so humans could use it, I filed it till it gave me a scale size of abut 5.5 ft tall and 3 ft wide, this will have a double door attached to it after I make them and also a few windows. I also decided it would be fitting to make the bulkhead fitted with wood planks - so I set about measuring-cutting and fitting these - I have gone as far as a plank or two from the deck - I think its a nice improvement over the plastic bulkead. Here are a few pics showing the instructions with the wrong curved bulkhead and the flatened fitted bulkhead then the planking going on. OC.

That would have been very cool if I could have run them off tiny solar pannels hidden inside the roof window, as I wouldn't want wires running outside the hull. OC.

So no time like the present I opened it up and made a start putting some paint on the upper hull parts and other hull parts, I chose a slightly grey/black color that is supposed to simulate a burned wood affect. I will be building her (very slightly differently - well A lot) from my original plan, as I will be using the Fantastic kit as a base but adding many wood parts including - masts and spars, decking, details and rope shrouds and all running gear. I am not sure if she still belongs here in the scratchbuild section (modes let me know what you think) I am really looking forward to this build as the kit is Fantastic and aided with extra detailing it should be a stunning ship.

I love your keel supports denis - very well thought out, being able to move it along the length of the slipway is a great idea. OC.

Thanks pat, its on my xmas prezzy to santa list. OC.

A bit more TD work in Paint - I have the frames sorted now and scaled to 1/100scale same as the keel, I will try to get these printed off as they will give me an accurate plan to work off. OC.
