  1. Gil what colour did you use on the captains entrance canopy, i have used a light grey (intact grey primer) to simulate what i guess must be lead.
  2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ship_Montebello_(1812) slagoon - well done
  3. not the She looks like the Mahmudiye ... (Ottoman Empire)
  4. yes it's a trick of the light but i have spent quite a lot of time trying to keep it tidy, but it starting to cause me problems, mainly with the black, the wale's and down to the waterline were done in Halfords spray matt black, when it comes to touch-ups i am finding the pots are very glossy, as you can see on the upper black areas. i lost a few more tiles last night, i dropped one of the captains entrance sides into the hull, and it bounced (laughing at me) all the way down to the keel. it's a big hull for turning upside down getting the dam thing out.

  6. Cat heads As i continue working the stbd side, these were ok to build, but i either made a big fuss about nothing or they were just a pain to get the decorative strip under it, using the brass profile, it requires to be recessed into the upper wale, as well as running in all angles Stbd side decorative strips most of the brass profiles are now fitted between the upper gun ports, channels/allready fitted with dead eyes after repainting the ships side where necessary, i hope to have the stbd side fitted this weekend Captains access access hatch - stbd side ready to fit ladder - stbd side being worked on

  10. i wonder that the outlay would be to put a release out like that, even though they will make it back
  11. i continued last night to get the bow decoration right, - lol unsucsessfully, was hoping to work backwacks towards finishing the decorative strips that run from the steps, also nearly ready to fix the fore mast chain plates
  12. well i have had my two minutes of fame, so i will spend the next 6 months waiting to see if i can get another one right, and then give it away
  13. no its not, it is fact HMS SCEPTE off RFA Dilligence GOA India lol - perhaps that's why very few post submarines
  14. http://naval.histofig.com/Painting-of-Napoleonic-Spanish.html this is intresting, where it appears that different colures were used to define category's of class of ship
