I have a range of threads from the different builds like my Greyhound / Peregrine / Pearl, just learning the artistry that the amazing folk do in here with the whole rigging magic. OC. -
Very fine work - you make difficult things look possible. OC.

Yes mate we have amazon, I will have to wait to see if my bank will refund me in 12 or so days time. What is most anoying the battery I payed for was a gunuine Toshiba one they work and last so much better than the cheaper versions out there, I currently have a cheap one in my laptop and it lasts about 20 minutes after a full charge (basically it only lasted a year and has been dying over the last six months) OC.

Thanks kevin, I chased it up - got into my paypal and no transactions are showing up in there - so it must have been a scam paypal page the transaction was taken from - lots and lots of reports about the company (chinese) people behind the scam. Yep the Pearl is progressing slowly - got most of the hull done minus the canons then its masts/spars and fun times with my first ever rigging. OC.

Hi all, nothing to show picture wise today as all I did was to tidy up 6 barrels by adding the nozel ends then scraping the seams along the middle of each barrel, I then drilled out twenty holes through the hull sides for the breech ropes to pass thorugh (as I have done before) OC.

Just to throw this topic below water slightly - there are lots of good sub kits out there, got to make a start with also. OC.

"Snap" Im canon building at the moment also, but havn't as many to build as your good self. OC.

An Action Man dinghy with all the works would be epic, no seriously I would so love to see you build a 1/350 scale modern carrier - just imagining your talent and such a subject - mind bogling. OC.
-
"Aynway" Enough crying over spilt milk - back on with the build, nothing extra has been done today but my next move tomorrow is to build the rest of the canons, then I will set about drilling the breech rope holes in the hull, then the canons will be ready to be dressed and painted and have the breech ropes fitted. OC.

Thanks for your imput lou, as I explained above paypal is a mess to be honest, I used to have an active one but when my previous laptop died last year along with all my pics, I lost my passwords so had to set up another paypal - I have been fighting with them all this year to allow me to keep my main email account (to avoid confusion due to my brain. But they wont let me do that meaning my paypal is left in limbo. I paid direct with my card as I assumed a debit/visa card would offer me the same level of protection against scammers etc as a CCard. I understand its my bank being akward by upholding a 15 period before they (Might) consider doing something, ok it aint much £50 but its the principle of the thing and none of us deserve being ripped off.

The trouble I have is, my old paypal is in-active as i messed up my old passwords (all realy messed up to be honest) and although I purchased the battery using my bank card I was forwarded to paypal to pay for it (but I wasn't logged in to paypal so it was like a generic paypal home page) it then opned up my bank authorization page and took the payement. So im stuck somewere in "limbo land" somewere between paypal and my bank. OC.😟

Just come off the phone with my bank - they say I have to wait 15 working days, for the battery to turn up or not, then do a Disputed Purchase through my bank where by the bank will decide if they should refund me, but they have said its not definate that I will get my money back. It was purchased using my bank Debit/Visa card not a C card as such so guess the rules are a little different. Oh well pooh happens but its not life or death. OC.

Thanks jack, just been looking on my banks website reading thier rules and info for such claims, just worry they may expect the - so called company to put thier side of the story first - just dont want this dragging out all over xmas. Its been a tough enough year without this now.🤬 I've been emailing this so called company all evening trying to get it canceled and my money back - but nothing from them. OC.

A bit of a tale to tell folks with a warning in it, my laptop that I use to post here and communicate with the outside world, has been nursing a sick battery for most of the year - it has got to the stage where I get 10 minutes run time out of it, and now have to keep my power leed plugged in all the time - anyway I saw a PC/laptop spares place online based in the UK (where I live) and it was selling the exact battery from the original manufacturer, and at a reasonable price (not too low to make me susspect a dudd and also not over expensive) so I thought give them a try. I paid on my card then a few days latter recieved an email from a company I didn't know stating a parcel was being shipped and gave a tracking number - I have since wound out that a few international transaction card fees have also been taken out, and the tracking number is a dudd. I decided to do a bit of digging online about this company and found Absolute loads and loads and loads of negative complaints and Warnings as they are a Scam, and based in the Far East - all the contact stuff on thier website (that looks legit) is dudd - phone number taht doesn't exsist and there retail address on the so called website in the UK? is for a old persons retirement home. So I've been conned dont know if I will be able to claim my money back through my bank. Just shows how we can all be conned so easily🤬🤬 OC.

I think even if I was making a model ice cream I would still heat it to glue/paint it. OC.
