I like the idea of drill bits being used a a spacer, that could do with going into the jigs topic -

Keith Jullier used enamels through out his build http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Period-Ship-Handbook/dp/1854862332/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1364287458&sr=1-3

Mort good point and i dont have an answer i have to remind myself sometimes when i look at my photos and see things about my build i dont like (about 90% at present) and think of ways i could have improved it, i had a thought that replacing my Gun-port linings in plastic - might have been better - on reflection i would not do that - lol - wish i had not said it now have you seen the price of these plastic strips - how on earth they need to charge that amount

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?I=LXDYE9&P=8 This works very well and comes in different sizes - i used 6mm Disclaimer lol - its the tape i am showing - not where to buy it from, or price to pay
-
lol - it's nice to see Murphy is visiting someone else for a change, if i do another 1st rate i will close all the gun-port lids and do away with the linings altogether, or use Evergreen plastic strips the hull is looking great

708 hours It was nice to get back into the build, and continued where i left off last July. Im not sue i like the gun-port rope work, or maybe i should have painted the hinges the same colour blue rather than leaving naked, they might haved blended in a bit better. the brass profile above is just temporary as are the black deck boards

Dah Dah ( sang as a fanfare) The big day came and went, all the crowds, the skimpy dressed cheerleaders, a top billing of big musicians - all to celebrate- the long awaited event . Although that is not strictly true, infarct there was only me and the wife who opened the door for me - like royalty ( still not quite true) in fact she opened it just to be able to shut as i passed through to stop the cold wind entering the house - oh i did have the ipod playing some trance music in the background, with the bass provided by the 5 wabbits - all stomping as i had disturbed there evening kip Celebrate what i hear you all say the build has re-started

Paul i fully appreciate that there are book and photo's to help you on this build, but i never guessed they would go into the detail required for you to reproduce an electrical panel like in the above photo, i just love this build well done

hello everyone, yet again my weekend has come to an end, yeah ok it is the middle of the afternoon, but have things to do, and i have avoided all the news all day to watch the Australian F1 race this evening, i would watch it live but the weather affected the qualifications so messed my routine up anyway, i have totally rewired my garage, and put in place a full ring main, new lighting sockets, aerial points, just tidying it all up now, had to clean the mess up to take the photos i will be building a table next, to free stand in the middle of the room so that i can work on the build from any side, i hope to complete that by this time next week. all the best

Gil - brilliant work, are you fitting the stun yards? I presume these would involve a certain amount of rigging as well i am on track to have my build on the table by Easter
-
