wow lovey job

i presume then if a wale is running through a gunport lid and you want to have all lids in the shut position then you have the perfect alignment set up -ie fit the lids and then the wale

have a safe trip

looks very nice, well done

LOL you build a brand new pre production kit - in a short period of time, that looks far superior to my 800+ hours build and at only 1/2 of what you have done, - its just not fair

lol you will say that on your next build as well, - just that the bits you are not happy with then - will be better than the bits you are happy with on here - thats life - i quess

PLEASE HELP I have one question for all you experienced copper platters, When and how do I use / draw a Gore line, I have a reference to it in some of my books but I don't understand the explanation, perhaps I'm being thick, I have completed 5 rows of plates on the bottom of the hull including the false keel and I'm not sure if I need to draw a gore line and if I do how do I lay the plates against it. I intend to lay 3 rows of plates at the waterline. I have checked out the u tube vids and there is no mention of one. I tiled mine the Keith Jullier way, down from the top and up from the keel, in most cases this will result in a line of cut tiles, - i.e. gore/scar, doing it this way, ½ way is hidden under the waist of the build, and not seen Hope that makes sense

a gore line is a scar line when tiled from top and bottom you will end up with a line of cut tiles - ie scar if done this way it will be hidden under the waiste is the build - and not seen

It's taken me over an hour to write this update, it's all the fault of the RAF, they keep flying over my house in a Spitfire, yesterday it was a Hurricane, how the hell do they expect anybody to get any work done. Mobbsie - it the defense cuts - last year they had two pilots, but have made one redundant since, so it the same pilot

i was reading through looking for a relevant link and saw the facts below Téméraire clas - 115 of these 74 gun ships Impétueux was a Téméraire class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy. She took part in the Glorious First of June in 1794. During the battle, HMS Marlborough became tangled with Impétueux. Badly damaged and on the verge of surrender, Impétueux received a brief reprieve when Mucius appeared through the smoke and collided with both ships.[2] The three entangled ships continued exchanging fire, all suffering heavy casualties with Marlborough and Impétueux losing all three of their masts. This combat continued for several hours. Captain Berkeley of Marlborough had to retire below with serious wounds, and command fell to Lieutenant John Monkton, who signalled for help from the frigates in reserve.[3] Robert Stopford responded in HMS Aquilon, which had the assignment of repeating signals, and towed Marlborough out of the line as Mucius freed herself and made for the regrouped French fleet to the north.Impétueux was in too damaged a state to move at all and sailors from HMS Russell soon seized her.[4] The Royal Navy intended to take into service as HMS Impetueux, but she was destroyed in an accidental fire at Portsmouth on 24 August 1794 and so was never commissioned. During the battle of The Glorious First of June, the Royal Navy had also captured her sister ship America, which it renamed HMS Impetueux in 1795.

Rusty lovely work i am following more and more scratch builds, as i countdown to my next project which will be a 1/24 section build, My Victory comes first though all the best

Hi Derek - looking very good I have not had chance to do any work on my build for a week now - withdrawal symptoms are setting in, - but have a long weekend ahead - dam that’s full of DIY - lol i think the reason we look forward to masting is - that it changes the whole aspect of the build as we go from length ways to putting height in, and possibly a new chapter opening up, also a lot of work will have gone into the hull that will never be seen, everything you do now is there for all the see
