  1. Loving the detail Airfix have so raised their game. OC.
  2. Keep it going Scott - excellent work, You really can't go over the top with weathering the Pearl, and the figures. Scott with the figures if they are the same set I got, I found the plastic to be very soft and almost greasy (like the old Airfix figures) so after triming back the seams a good Primer is key. OC.
  3. I used a few fine files, and gently filed around the upper moulding till I was happy. OC.
  4. Excelent work weathering the decks, they would have been quite bad as legend in the film says she was set on fire then sent down to the sea bed to Davey Jones Locker before being brought up. OC.
  5. So ahead of its time, but I would not have flown in one - its bad enough me needing to travel in the luggage compartment (lol) When I have flown I have had to have an isle seat as I suffer from a fear of heights and vertigo, so looking out of a window in a plane is a Big No no. OC.
  6. This is excellent craftsmanship Phil, I take my hat off to you guys who attempt these mediums. OC.
  7. Thats a great save on the treads - I had to do the same, and with the hand rail bending it at the ends where it terminates with the columbs. OC.
  8. Hi Scott, Excellent start on the Pearl, I built her a few years back (The Revell kit) that I think is basically the same kit as yours, I did quite a few alterations to enhance her and make her more solid like putting wood dowels inside the masts to give them some strength, and making the spars from wood dowels also, as the plastic ones will bend under rigging strain. I also replaced the plastic rat lines for thread, and added thread for the gun lid lowering devices. I posted my build in here check it out if you need and pointers - OC.
  9. Welcome to the Pirates world "Me Hearty" I too built her the Revell version and added a crew of naughty pirates. OC.
  10. Hiya Kevin mate, found your build at last, what a fantastic build it is - you are doing a wonderful job, looking forward to each and every post. OC.
  11. I'm in also Mike, what a fascinating plane - almost looks too short to fly. OC.
  12. Same situation over here Mark, antibiotics need a doctors prescription for them, but we have an online form we can fill ill where the doctor arranges a prescription to be collected/deliverd to the house by our chemist. OC.
