Good evening everyone, and thankyou for all the Birthday messages Upper deck cannons i made a moutiin out of a mole hill on this, but I wanted it at least to look like something in the book, at 3MM the blocks still look to large, but it is staying like this now, it took me all day to get this far, the large rope still needs more work to get it ti lie down, dont know why but there is not enough rope to put a coil in it this is what i am trying to achieve there is not enough spare rope to coil it

lovely work my friend, hopefully i will get a few hours in my man cave this weekend, subject to DIY and gardening

Good evening after the dismal progress i made last weekend, it nearly ended up being the same this weekend the tried in vane to get the right sale on the cannon rigging, but it all looked so large, so i attempted to convert some 3mm single blocks into doubles without success so i gave up and ordered 100 3mm double blocks today i tried the fire buckets, the ones supplied with the kit don't look anything like Real life, come on Jotika Caldercraft - you can do better than that, although not to scale i am going to use some from my parts bin, they could do with being thinned out inside but i am going to fill them with sand so it should not show the gold emblem is work in progress, hopefully when painted and scanned and reduced in size i will then print onto water decal sheets

Murphey has been to visit me again and made me build a jig for the upper deck cannons, stain the blocks prepare the cordages and make a real nice job, then when i moved them from the jig to the build the blocks were so out of scale, yep i trailed one and used onother,

every time i look into this subject i find more info, i had not even thought about where the fwd stuns are attached when deployed and for some reason i thought the stun boom would support the top of the lower sail and the bottom of the one above it,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/HMS-Victory-Construction-Career-Restoration/dp/1840675322 this the book i am going to use for my sail, as and when i get to them, i agree i am in a minority wrt putting sails on, bit i am also going to include stuns as well as to why few do it i am not sure, perhaps at the end of a three year build - builders want to move onto newer projects

that's terrific work, and how you managed to bend them rails is amazing

Mort, i 2nd guessed you and have experimented with a smaller size thread, the one i was using was F72 from an old billings kit, it looks a bit more realistic now, but no photo's yet

the crew will be recruited - but i dont think it will be as easy as i anticipated For my sail past i wanted all the mast crew on the yards and a Royal marine band playing, also away from the the land side out of view i wanted the ships boats being pulled along with deck hands scrubbing the side prior to the admirals inspection But with all studding sails set i dont know if this is just a pipe dream or achievable as there will be so much in the way
