  3. thank you comments and likes had a day off yesterday, infact i was doing some jobs for me mum (which basically meant me and the dog were sat in the carpark for 5 hours whilst my wife took her in for appointments any way today i sorted out the centre island and got the derrick area sorted a few photos of my workbench, which i tidied ny before the shots
  4. lol no i am making into a poor representation of @schiffebastler build
  5. and now you will never know how you lived without it 😀
  6. Good evening everyone the main mast is now in position, i have placed it earlier than i wanted to, to prove/or not. that the rigging plans work. it was def confused dot.com today when i realised not all the back stays go to the same location,
  7. I use it to often to say thankyou for a delivery sent by post etc, say a parcel from tom at Caf @cafmodel where i have no post to quote
  8. TY Patrick at present i am up to my neck in foremast backstays, she will be back def by the new year, i will need a break from the AV by then
  9. thank you, i have now also confirmed that with by books, the bit that was confusing me was the odd number- thank you for the reply
  10. good morning on my Amerigo foremast there are quite a few backstays with attach to the hull with bottle screws, are the lines kept individual or in pairs? like on the shrouds which i doubt or one end to each side NOT MY PHOTOs
  11. Many happy returns

  12. Admiralty Paints HMS Victory Paint Set APS9014W | Cornwall Model Boats
  13. i would still use a primer and go with Admiralty paints, just as they are as true to the real thing as possible (subject to the Pink HMS Victory) admiralty paints - Bing images
  14. problems aside, i think you have made a stunning job of this, well done
  15. good afternoon well i put in the three lines, replacing the two that i had in position, but not fitted, these are white, and although not confirmed i believe these are steel on the real vessel, but i am constantly moving away from the kit, lol nothing seams to be in the right place,
  16. the bulkheads look very thin and fragile, i agreee with the balsa infills is a template in the kit for marking out the gunport locations
  17. however im confused the build i am following has three ropes going forward, but two lines seam to come from the same mouse
  18. Good morning everyone with the foremast shrouds in place, i am going to proceed with the front end standing rigging, as the main mast is not ready (or needs adapting) forestays time to bring the serving machine back out, not seen the light of day for quite a few years, it was very dusty and had a little light rust/corrosion on the rope feeders, so i stripped it down, and put a plastic sleeve through the rope holes to stop it marking the white thread you can see the rust marking the thread, do this line eventually went to the bin my first attempt which i think is to short and mouse to large made thes to long but maybe a better mouse
  19. lovely work my friend, lol that reminds me i have a 1/72 version somewhere, abandoned to to airbrushing skills, (or lack off)
