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,

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,

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

A nice warm sunny summers day here 21 degs - time to take her back into the garden to show the runner beans off and plonk a badly build model in front, on top of a disguised dustbin seriously though, im am pleased the way she is progressing, the futtock shroulds could have been better- but it is not impossible to redo them if needs be. have now started the foremast upper shrouds - and learning about sister blocks

My reasoning for the air brush / rattle can was the large amount of black, not just the bands but from the lower wales to the coppering and the gunport lids as well
-
I put the yellow down first and rattle canned the black

Dominic Good recovery mate

I had to do mine again as i used the plans as a measure - but they are 2D noit 3d so the distances were wrong - in the end - i went mainly by photo's as a point of reference

Daniel Good morning, do you have plans for a section build like stay the stern section of a 1/72 ship lets say (for example) the Victory from the mizzen mast to rudder
-
Number one and two shrouds must have not been fully secured to the stave - and moved/pulled forward, as they were not in their natural position

Mark I released Number one shroud from the futtock stave, and it now lines up a lot better, as to weather it is good enough, I will wait to see how the Port side goes

Mark looking at the pictures i think I may have created my own problem with Number 1 shroud where it is secured to the futtock stave, as much as I regret it - I may have to go and start all over again and produce new shrouds and then possibly go for black ratlines rather than the white (stained grey) lol - i might as well then paint the yellow bands pink at the same time

Dominic - i cut mine to get into position but more like a zig zag to get in place -lol im kind of happy the we are all having the same issue, or all doing it very wrong
-
Dominic i removed a couple mm from the bottom of my inner bulkheads,
-
well - this is something new for me, a mid week update allays learning something new- but now realise that the ratlines don't go across all the shrouds at the top and bottom, havnt found out why though yet anyway, nothing is fixed yet using the caldercraft natural line 0.1mm dyed with a clay wash and then waxed experimenting with coloured card to see if I can get a better photo
