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

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
