Very nice Jerry - well done -
on those things - everything was in short supply - especially fresh water - apart from maybe watching the most essential bits once a week (using cold salt water) we used to stink - brilliant times the showers - which i never saw being used one in 8 years - were just a beer stowage

i did my tiles the Keith Julier way start at the water line lay about 5 tiles and brickwork them down until you come to a pre drawn line where the bottom ones about row 11 down meet the waterline fwd and aft, then from the keel up and the gore line is hidden under the waist of the ship http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/403-hms-victory-by-kevin-caldercraftjotika-172/page-2 But lol - this is not the Victory - so ignore my ramble

Good evening everyone Managed another 4 hours on the build today, still working on the stern, stern davits are now in place, slight further forward over the ¼ gallery than one of the photo I have seen, simply made by sandwiching a piece of decking in-between 2x3mm with an end cap and a hole through the side The window sills are looking better, with just a little bit of tidying up to do Another couple of hours and I will have done what I can for now and progress towards the pointy bit at the front, the rudder and gun ports will wait for next time around

there has to be a fine balance between plastic as described above for panelling and some fine detailing, which might be better than white metal, then you go to the other extreme - I wont say Billings - where there is to much and poorly made, - ooops did i say the B word - if so - sorry

mark as of today i will be following you log, and other dark side players i have made the decision, long time coming that i need to build a vessel (non kit), Victory will be finished 1st, but something like Lumber yard Alfred really does appeal to me, even though - i would have preferred less cannons. im not old,(55 ish) but with possibly another two years to finish the currant build - i will then have the perfect opportunity to do something to be proud off all the best kevin LOL - i am even thinking of packing up playing EVE to fund it - dont tell the wife
-
so the shrouds are just approx lengths then i take it, would it be to much of a pain to just makes them up after putting the mast into position lovely work all the best
-
brilliant work as always, well done
