A shot of the actual ship curtosy of Hawi'i magazine shot in 2011 for one of the later films. OC.

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.

I love Sushi - but I get them to cook it through propper first, and coat it in breadcrumbs. 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.

Good evening all, Day started off as normal till the wife told me there was a parcel waiting for me (A very large parcel) I wasn't expecting anything so I opened it and to my complete supprise this was inside it - 🤩🤩😀😀 OC.

Thank you denis. OC.

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.

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.
-
If I was sensible I would just convert the plan to the correct 1/100 scale in windows paint, then save it as a 1/1 pic file then print it out on some 20inch paper, but I have no ink for my printer. OC.

Good evening all, first step today was to convert some dimensions to 1/100 scale on one of the plans I have, I will then overlay this drawing by hand onto my Peregrine plans that are already at 1/100 scale, this will give me a guide to how much upscaling the keel will need. OC.
