  1. i abandoned this build back in 2015, as i just could not airbrush anyway today i taught myself to do it and got a satisfactory result, time after time, so this is on the table for now as i plan to practise and hopefully get better to then complete the HMS Bluebell and ready for the next big build hopefully starting in the new year, 2014
  2. i will be following this build with interest i have contacted RCSubs for details on upgrades, will then look for the kit
  3. thats so strange that all that work has gone into this development uh well
  4. i would also get the wales in first very surmised that the copper tiles are not the right size
  5. so sorry to hear
  6. until now i never gave a thought of how the cat head was secured as you say normally just an afterthought,
  7. looking great, are you put her into the cabinet to protect it from the feathered friends
  8. good evening everyone looking through all my old builds, the one thing i have learnt, if you don't like it, dont hide it, just re-do the lower deck beams i now believe to be in the correct position looking through the AOTS Pandora book i need to move the bulkheads to the sailroom and others to match the beams, so as they were fixed to the deck i ripped it out cleaned it all up, which gave me the opportunity to put a bulkhead in under the 1/4 platform (coal store) now means i am in a good place now to get the passage way doors scuttles and bulkheads in place a test fit of the upper beams show they are in the right place
  9. thank you, i have a nasty habbit of doing that to nyself
  10. my main worry is how messy it all looks
  11. good evening everyone work continues, but i never thought it would be this difficult, the main deck is fine, but matching the deck below is very slow (i will never make a model ship builder) sail room deck made up and fitted lower deck in and secure, was also pinned getting the lodging knee on the port side the right shape is my biggest concern, but it is in line and the right height for the hanging knee lower deck in and secure, was also pinned sail room buikhead and pillars in lining up the rest of the internal bulkeads the upper deck is just for the photo
  12. Im so looking forward to seeing progress on this again
  13. i have just had the same issue with the transom timbers, a 1/48 build does not like being moved around
  14. Good evening everyone after a few good days on the build, yesterday i went backwards, the fwd mast step went into the wrong position and set before i realised, and then i varnished the internal decking with the wrong varnish, i was gutted, i dont even know how i allowed myself to do it today was much better the fwd mast step was salvaged, and although it might be a couple mm more fwd than it should be im pleased with it the two decks line up with it, and i seam to have plenty of room to put the number 1 deck beam in and the breast hook (please correct me if im wrong) nothing i can do with the varnish, oh hum (another monster) tomorrow i will cleam up all the forward frames so they look better in the photo's
  15. thank you for posting that, a great review, and well done @chris watton
  16. Good evening today the planking between the two decks was sorted, this should be ready tomorrow, when the excess fine filler on the simulated fixings has beeb wiped away, then i have to decide whats next
  17. agred, its the last two sub frames numbers 59 and 60 i put them in the wrong way round after shaping them, even now they dont look right
