Kevin

Welcome back home, i was waiting for that to say a big thank you for the netting, 

Good afternoon everyone

After a few days away, im back, work on the bow area continues, although, im still unsure if the bowspit looks right, time will tell, its the 1st coat of paint, so quite a lot more sanding and repaints required

Hi all well any one who has read my comment will know i ofter criticise the lack of info in joitikas manual or the way they explain things,well i think they have now lost the plot entirley and i found this funny.This applies to  jotikas hms victory only its in manual 3 page 13  under Topgallant Shrouds i will quote the bottom lines. "As the topgallant shrouds are close together,at this scale,you may find it of benefit to rig these blocks in a  strop as shown and run the first and second SHROUDS AS FALLS FROM THE **** OF THE BLOCKS"   er its not me is it lol     DEREK :dancetl6:ok it seems the site blocks some words best i can do is for the missing word from manual is Alpha Romeo Sierra Echo

lol - i just read the online instructions to see if they had updated them - NO they have not

? the dead space between the bulkheads abd the ships hull, would this have been used for any thing, or a requirement to be kept clear for observing of water ingress, i ask because a there is a lot of space not being used, and on a modern ship, although metal in construction would be used.

I love the Van De Velde drawings - one of my favourite and most treasured of books is Frank Fox's Great Ships - The Battle fleet of Charles II. I used this for reference for a few Prince changes, like the small protruding stern gallery that's not shown on the original model - but I trust the De Velde sketches, I regard them as almost as good as actual photographs for reference.

 

I am seeing Amati soon, so I'll see what's going on regarding future projects...

Can i carry your bags?

Go for it, at that price

Jimbob

i appreciate the health issue, but why did you start again, was it because you could now do better, or was it because, of the fact you are showing it off the build to the MSW community

she looks great

Hi Kevin

 

It looks like I started some thing when I ask you where you are going to display your Victory with full sail and stuns. Sorry about that and that I did not cause you to much grief. Enjoy.
