  1. good afternoon looking forward to calmer weather so that the build can go into the garden for photo's Bullseys, I could not find them within the kit , the longbridge book calls them thimbles, but i need them for the Topgallant shrouds - made from small deadeyes for now
  2. hello Charlene, after following Jerrys build, i seam to have lost you in the down time of doing my own, do you mind me following on from here Happy new year to you both
  3. Happy New Year everyone well I completed the foremast shrouds and ratlines and now looking for home to put the back stays, presently looking to see how the Breast stay fits - looking at some builds they tend to vary the height of the blocks, but looking at Gils I might leave it there, unless someone lets me know
  4. try the mesh again but try colouring PVA glue for the glass and drop it onto the mesh with a cocktail stick, some lovely ideas here
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Merry Christmas to you both, and it was nice to catch up on your build Sjors
  9. 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
  10. 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

  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
