Thank you, the close up photos with flash highlight every blemish, which panics me quite a bit, so i see the pictures and rush down stairs to see if it is as bad as it appear, in most cases i cannot see anything- 1,319 replies

Good evening everyone well i have ordered parts 2 and 5 of the set which have arrived, i also ordered 1.5mm plywwod sheets to replace the decks, 2mm thick balsa sheet for the 1st planking and lime strips for the 2nd planking all the main decks will be remade, the hull inside be reinforced to stop damage when drill portholes, and this build will have sails, some of the fittings will be scratched as they are very basic, my original build log was lost in the great crash, reinput and then i asked for that one to be deleted as this was going to landfill

brasso apparantly is ok for glass, but im surprised it was damaged that much just using the wrong side of a sponge

its a great idea having a list of things to do, problem is that it is slowed down by a bigger list of things to do which you dont know about yet, love your progress she is looking great i presume the lens is plastic https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sumex-QUIXX20-Plastic-Polish-Scratch/dp/B004KKOMIM/ref=sr_1_2?adgrpid=55975971489&hvadid=259104816685&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006563&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=3540535818710459271&hvtargid=kwd-309255416550&keywords=scratch+remover+for+plastic&qid=1552424137&s=gateway&sr=8-2&tag=googhydr-21

good evening everyone well the rudder rigging was sorted, and im in the process of doing the davits, although i have nothing to put on them, all the ships boats are so brittle i have been unable to salvage any of the them, Caldercraft dont stock them in 1/72 at this present time

thank you for the help on this subject, this is how i have interperated it after seeing the longbridge drawing
-
lol another 2 hours research to do a two minute job
-
well i went back down stairs preparing to do the knot and accidentally knock my Longbridge book on the floor, which opened on the running rigging plans, and there was the answer, the line in this case passes along the channel and into the hull
-
thank you, but strange that it was held by a knot and not a cleat
-
thank you so much, just the info i needed, can i use your photo in my build log please
-
Thanks Mark, non of my books show it, and the plans certainly dont, infarct before yesterday, i was completely unaware of the line passing up the hull, i had only ever seen the chain, even though i was right in thinking why it was there
-
Mort good morning from the Spectacle plate the chain has been tied (not passed through) two eyebolts
