  1. lol all the battle damage will help towards the finished result, but she is just still manageable at presenrt
  2. good evening everyone, ratlines are taking me forever, but considering, when all the sails are in position very little will be seen, one or two will need to retied as they look a little sloppy, but with the diorama that i intend they will be full of little people
  3. nice to see you posting again andy, will be following you again if permission is granted
  4. hello to the Bounty team, lovely work, even with one of the two out of the loop for a while it is easy to see that progress that has been made, what is the next project?
  5. hope you are fully fit again now, maybe when you were last like it, it might have been the worry of buying a round, Im so impressed how you have so much going on, and make progress, where i have one build on the go, and dont seam to be going any where
  6. happy with the work done on the build over the weekend, looking forward to taking her outside this weekend

  9. the alister McGowan book is from £23 on Amazon in the UK (must be about (about $30 on conversion)
  10. Paul, lovely work, I am also using the Alan McGowan book and the Longbridge book, plus a couple of build logs on MSW, I have just moved my build back into the Mancave after a few months due to doggie training, also like you I tend to go backwards and forwards in the build process, which in the long term does not save any time, by the time you have worked out what has still to be done, hopefully will be back onto it this weekend after some DIY projects
  11. lovely rework on the rudder, lol I would love to use all the bits from your scrap box, as everything would be better than what I produce
  12. good evening mobbsie, I am sure I can find that info out wrt total rigging distance lol you want it in meters or yards Intentions were to move her back into the mancave, as Dobbie is now eight months old, and has to understand that i have a life of my own as well, but first we wanted to adress a condensation problem with the freezer, and from there it all went wrong "what have you done today" thread will get a post soon As of tonight she is now back in the cave, buit still needs a few hours organisation before i can get a move on
  13. Lovely work, I am so looking forward to the day when I can start my own
  14. will not harm to make the preventers now and fit later, but yes the shrouds do get in the way when it comes to the lacing
  15. I used small deadeyes and drilled the middle out to create the bull eyes, as for gils message, most likely his inbox is full
