Build time 775 hours Fore channels Stbd side completed according to the plans all my chains are in the right place, but some are longer in RL than the plans suggest, one or two drop of the wale Stbd side steps fitted, still require to be sanded and repainted i need to find an acrylic paint to match the flat black, all these little dabs of paint touching up pins and edges is starting to look a bit naff in the photo's (when using a flash)

Securing Chain Plates to the Hull i have found that if the bottom of the chain plate is bent to approx the angle required, then you are able to mark the position with a Map pin. Using a 0.5mm drill i have made a hole for the pin and tapped it in with a toffee hammer, worked so far. Continually checking with the plans to ensure that the gun ports are kept clear

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.

what's this one
-
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.

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
