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)

  17. Grant thank you for answering Keith, i have been trying to find a photo for you, found this, its not exactly what i wanted, but my plans are to big to scan , however it shows the small dead eyes and corresponding ropes going it different direction to those supporting the shrouds
  18. 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
  19. 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.
