thank you for your comments i use tamiya tape, as it does not bleed, and most of the hull has had at least 4 coats of watered down Admiralty paints, and i am always touching up in places as i go along, black banding is Mattt black Car spray, and for any touch up required there i spray a little into a plastic container and brush it on whilst still wet,

i may have made it to short , the bands are in the right place according to the plans, but when compared to others builds they seam to near to the mariners walk supports, i have had to adapt it (well made in shorter as i am unable to push it all the way into the recess, so the ,easurments i have are from the end of the dowel, its no big deal if i have to remake - , it has to be right so if the bands are out so will the stops for the gammoning

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

lol - i just read the online instructions to see if they had updated them - NO they have not http://www.aeromarine-uk.com/Manuals/Victory_Rig.pdf

1780 HMS Pearl (32), Cptn George Montagu, took French frigate Esperance (28) off Bermuda. 1800 U.S. concludes treaty of peace with France, ending Quasi War with France. 1814 HMS Crane Sloop (18), Robert Standly, foundered in the West Indies with the loss of all hands. 1822 HMS Eliza tender (1) engaged two pirates off Guajaba and took one Firme Union (5).

? 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.

no more posts from me until Monday, away for a few days
