Looking great kev, have you seen the kits over at Atlantic Models, they have a 1/350 scale resin kit of HMS Glamorgan, it looks superb. OC. -
Sorry for delay in replying, I foregot to check my own thread Hand is not to bad I have good and bad days depends if I am using my left hand much - holding stuff thats when it starts to play up and my fingers lock, however on good days it gives me less trouble. Im doing some gentle light work at the moment - building the bits and fitting them through the forecastle deck down into the front of the gundeck. Not really any pics as I am waiting to progress a little further. OC.

That is looking rather nice EJ really nice build you have going on there, the fact that you create your own carvings is even more credit to you. OC.

Thank you for looking in, although im not working on her at the moment, its great having you have a look at what I have done so far. OC.

Stunning work bob, she is just like a scalled down version of the real ship - museum quality without a doubt. OC.

Didn't they do these to them - OC.

WOW that is such a step and a landmark stage - what a difference it makes closing in the hull with the first planking, and making a good job of it(trust me thats come up ok) the hardest part covering the frames is over, your next job sanding the planks should be more enjoyable. Try to find something plyable/fexable and bendy to sand with - I used to use those decorating sand sponge blocks, as they will follow the contours, also I and probably everyone else on here uses those small flexable nail file strips (not on our nails though) they are great for smaller areas also some different grades of sand paper or wet and dry is also very helpfull - cutting them to the size you want. Great progress and keep up the good work - you are doing fine. OC.

Amazing work and what a brilliant way to make the anchor attachments, What i love about this site is the way someone can come here knowing nothing, and with time and friendly conversations and interacting with each other, we learn so much and advance our boat building knowledge. OC.

Thank you so much kevin its great having you come along for the journey, its only taken me 3 years and probably another 3, wait till I get to the rigging . I was on my other build "After - in between this" build HMS Warspite in 350 scale, but I have had a break on that one due to the tiny parts playing my hand condition up, I was getting locked fingers from holding the PE parts, and going cockeyed, so I decided to have a bash on me frigate instead. She is a bit of a mish-mash to be honest kind of a captains interpretation of how his 20 gun sixth rate should look. Keep up the great work with your County Class as you know it is a very special part of my childhood, going over Devonshire at Pompy Navy Days. All the best OC.

Great work don, and what a lovely little tool that palm chisel havn't used one of those in years and years. OC.

I follow your work with kind interest kev, its not just a plastic build - its not a wood build, its not a out the box kit, its far more than that - its scale and work level is what makes it even more interesting, I think the main element is taking youe time and re thinking and studying what you want to do. Please keep up the enthusiasm and the posts/pics I know not just me but others will feel the same on here. All the best Collingwood.
