    the yellow deepens in colour the more coats put on, most of my build now has 3 coats with a light sanding in-between personally i quite like the colour, but have been looking at it longer than most - lol

    Thanks for the replys everyone, i still don't know if it was a mistake in the first place, the original inner stern fascia and counter assembly were fitted early in the build, as per the instructions to complete the hull, So when the outer fascia is fitted there is always going to be this step/gap, the instructions don't mention it, Gil resolved his by doing the same as me (only better) and i did not want to skim the outer liner down to the original counter Andy i showed them your message, they have solved your dust bunnies problem, they have invited distant relations of theirs to (well look after your workshop and assist you in any way that THEY want to ) lol God help you Keith i like people opinions, weather good or bad, other wise i would not ask for them I sought advice on the trolling subject and basicly told the same - However i now go round to people logs and invite them personally to do the post. LOL - I have not had any death threats as of yet.

    802 hours Stern Counter After last night the only way I could sort this, was to do the same as Gil and using 2x5 walnut I made another stern counter, faired under the stern fascia and where it meets the hull. Tomorrow I hope to do a full repaint of the stern and ¼ galleries, so as I can continue with my progress down the port side looks better in RL, wet paint and flash

    Good evening everyone In my last photo, you can see a step where the outer stern fascia sits quite away from the stern counter, been racking my brains how to flush all this off, I have managed to close the gap slightly using clamps map pins and a hammer secure it, but looks like i am going to have to make another stern counter to flush it all off like Gill has (on page 3 of his build log http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/485-hms-victory-by-gil-middleton-jotika-172/page-3 i was so looking forward to a couple hours work, and lol achieved nothing, oh well always tomorrow all the best Here a question for anyone reading my log, As you maybe aware i started a thread about inviting members to post a profile of their builds, I continually keep mentioning this - is that trolling? and against MSW rules http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1589-latest-full-profile-photograph-of-your-build/

    Hello Rosemarie Just checking you are ok, not seen any build progress recently. all the best
  14. Kevin
    yr such a tease - lol, trying to make me feel good
  15. Kevin
    i am pressing ahead with it, i have had the admiral and four wabbits giving me their deliberations, the admiral, could not see what i was winging about, and the four wabbits- looked at it, stole my planking jig, left some droppings and went back into the garden LOL as for neck and neck, yes maybe apart from i have done nothing on the port side of the hull, and no upper deck fittings at all, once the stern fascia is on, i should think i will be on a bit of a roll, as all the port side is just a repeat of the stbd side
  16. Kevin
    Stern Facia i was quite impressed how easy this went, until i took the photo's, the white that i used on the inner panel is quite uh / well it shows to much, I Don't quite know how to resolve this, if at all, because if i remove the outer fascia and any damage that incurs, i then have the window acetate to remove just to get to the inner sills. may have to sleep on that one. The bottom of the panel overhangs by about 3mm so it looks like i will have to plank up to this, along the stern counter (i think it's called).
  17. Kevin
    very nice, will make a display when finished
  18. Kevin
    Please start a log, all the questions you are asking, are repeated in most logs, it will save you either, asking the question in others ongoing builds, or having to PM someone, Having your own log, others will see what you are doing, give praise, and suggest ideas, to questions you have not thought off. I appreciate the questions you have at present are the gun-port lining, but these will lead on the the completion of 2nd planking,, then the greatly loved by all copper tiling. There are plenty of members around to help, and LOL if in doubt check Gill's Victory out
  19. Kevin
    oh well i was close - close in the respect that it was a big grey ship thing, Never mind that my submission was the wrong name, wrong country, and bore no resemblance to the photo posted
