  1. 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
  2. lol, lovely build, lol they didn't leave much space for anything else, pretty much every available space is filled, now throw in all the masting and rigging
  3. After 30+ years in the Royal navy,I retired 3 years ago. Being around warships and submarines,all that time, it is surprising just how quickly you forget about the small details required to make a vessel operate, it is not until you see the plans of yr build, seeing all the inlets, outlets deck fittings etc, the things that take a average model into something special, i will follow with intrest, good luck
  4. i quess planking the upper deck in two halves, is always possibly going to result in that problem, it only shows at the very front, and i doubt if any of that will be seen, well done
  5. the last time i saw this problem on msw 1.0 the hole was then cut and the build proceeded, only to find out the bulkheads had been placed in the incorrect order, please double check - if im wrong - i appologise - not trying to panic you
  6. she looks very nice, another vict build for me to follow
  7. the more logs the better, there is always something from every build that can be used as an idea for someone else
  8. my garage conversion continues, raised floor ceiling and walls are finished, the barrier between me and the wabbits is 90% done, at present i am working out work top area and storage, still on track for a Easter restart. i fully appreciate this is a hobby site for boats and not loft/ garage conversions, if anyone is concerned with this, please tell me and i will stop posting non Victory related stuff
  9. the model is a piece of history, and should be reflected as it was, without changes
  10. yon the front end looks great all the best
  11. and another welcome to MSW 2.0 - i have been waiting for you to get here
  12. what i did like about yr build was the solder work on the canopy/observation covers,
  13. 1st time i have seen the boats since last July when they went into storage, good to see them again, i don't see the point of restarting the build log of the Amerigo Vespucci, as at present - i am unable to find the time to proceed with her
  14. My new workshop continues to grow, all surfaces are/have been lagged, and slowly it is being brought to life with power the lit area is 4'x8' where i can do messy bits, - but it is taking oh so slow, I need my weekends to be longer than the working week
  15. i did the same with the gun port linings, very hard to make all those exact cuts, some have done ti successfully though, both ways have pros and cons, im happy with my putting the linings on completion of 2nd planking
  16. Thank-you for taking yr time and reposting the build, it is very much appreciated by me and many others
