  1. Thank you everyone Popeye thank you for the seasons greeting and in return we hope you and family also have a great new year Bismarck is off the table for now, lol and I am doing a big push on the Victory
  2. Good afternoon everyone from a very wet windy Somerset, not as bad here as further north well I have an update, foremast upper port side shrouds are completed
  3. I am not back to work until 4th Jan so the Victory i being brought into the temporary mancave - I will have to overcome any dog/rigging issues as they arise
  4. Merry Christmas to you both, and it was nice to catch up on your build Sjors
  5. hI mobbsie, lol I have spent more time on working with Dobbie than on my builds, today we were working on making a Christmas wish list, he loves to learn new things -but at only 19 weeks old, i think that is very good
  6. good morning everyone, eventually got a few outside shots, things are settling down having a new pup in the house, and a change of man cave, done lots on this build recently, and learning lots towards the next big ship build, around Easter time, Possibly the Trumpeter 1/200 HMS Nelson

  8. Good afternoon every one more progress, but wish i had stuck to the correct order of the build, LOL- it's painfully show and doesn't show in the photos the hours of work done
  9. good evening everyone it has taken a while to get used to having a nosher dog in the family, but we are now settling into a routine that is working for the three of us, done quite a lot of work on the Bismarck over the weekend - but getting bogged down with PE never got chance to get outside for photo' to windy - so again sorry for the quality
  10. good morning everyone making progress with at least an hour daily on the build, PE is being fitted everywhere, Like all my builds, I should stick to page one of the instructions, and not move on until completed, as I am continually finding something is now in the way
  11. Hi Jonny Lovely photo, yep time is limited in the mancave, but am managing to get a couple hours a day on the bissi, which is more than i have done recently with out the doggie addition to the family,will post update later today
  12. Good evening Work on the Bissi has restarted but have moved out of my mancave for now into the conservatory- at least i am able to do some boat building, better than not being able to do anything, I apologise to anyone how does not have a proper workspace This is why I have to re-site for now - meet Dobbie (now 13 weeks old) Cocker spaniel, it is impossible to let him into the mancave, it was never designed around a hyper active pup, and it is all set up around the Victory in the rigging stage Did quite a lot on the main armament and PE work on all the ships boats, the longest part was working out where I have left off The hull needs the be touched up around the boot line,
  13. Good evening everyone To cut a long story short, the Victory is on hold again, I have permission to bring plastic into the conservatory, so the Bismarck has come out of mothballing. basicly the victory is to big a to bring into the house and as I am into the rigging stage, i dont want the new puppy helping me,
  14. Hi Augie the futtock shrouds don't seam to hang right, like they are out of scale, I am using the smaller dia thread as per the instructions for the shrouds but used the same scale as the mains for the ratlines, the thinner stuff made the problem worse
