i must admit im far happier when playing with wooden kits, i dont post as much wjen working with other materials yes they were quite a few off us doing the same kit, dont forget Gil Middletons build, im sure David will see your post as he occasionally drops by, takes a front seat eats all my popcorn and leaves the rubbish on the floor, you can find him and his latest build here https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/10469-hms-diana-by-shipyard-sid-caldercraft-164-scale/&tab=comments#comment-313971

finished playing with the anchors, its far tro early for them and will just create more snags as i continue withe the rigging Fore mast yards and Stun Yards i love rigging, it takes me into another time (NOT LIKE DR WHO), i think its because it all goes together like a fine tuned engine, its nice to think that line does this and that one gets tied off there because blah blah blah one dowl 8mm thick and two at 3mm gives me what is reqired for the lower yard on the foremast used my lathe as a sanding tool and had a great few hours that completes the basics but to be primed and painted then set up with accessories before being fixed to the build, however i always pin my spars in the relevant position, makes my life so much easier

the jigs are fine is thats the way you want to go, but when securing to the deadeyes it could create a problem in getting the tension right, or ratlines that are no longer horizontal, i have found the above way gives a decent result, and the only way i know, The lines on the card, ensure they are straight, and the card also allows the eye to focus on the job, rather than be distracted

we spend months doing something that has to be just right, and then cover it all up LOL, we are our own worst enemies

she is just coming on great, i have to agree the gunport linings would be best painted now David i have just re-read your log again, and various other builds of the same kit, as a result the admiral has told me to look long and hard and my next build. and try to improve my skills rather than skills and the kit, i dont know what is wrong with Caldercraft if anything, but anything other than thier flagships they tend to get a bit of a ear bashing, anyway to cut a long story short, i have been asked to make her the Model shipways Chaperon, and to get the model shipways Confederacy as a christmas gift for my self, and stop making plans for scratch building 8 foot paddle steamers, of course there is always a but, Finish the Victory first
