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

Admiralty Paints HMS Victory Paint Set APS9014W | Cornwall Model Boats

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
-
problems aside, i think you have made a stunning job of this, well done
-
if i was brave enough i would love to re-rig my Victory

oh very nice

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,

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
-
however im confused the build i am following has three ropes going forward, but two lines seam to come from the same mouse

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

and so very nice to see her back

i was enjoying the Enterprize build very much, but it was slated in a FB group, and somewhat threw me off my perch, hence the restart of the AV, i dont have the skills for a full scratch and this was at the time the best kit for it, im now ready to get on with her, but so enjoying me present build, so i will continue with that for a while longer

Photographing your models
Kevin replied to Patrick Matthews's topic in Photographing your work. How to do this.
non of my builds are worthy of this much trouble and expense, i will have to make do with my EOS 1300 outside lighting and a wheely bin -
Good morning mike, i adapted the upper deck to make it fit in the lower position, im sure i could have attemped scratching one, but i went for the easier option

good evening everyone well considering this build has been in the bin on more than one occasion, i am so glad i decided to restart it today the foremast shrouds were put in, i pleased the way they turned out, as for leaving the brass showing, the jury is out on that, but it is to far down the road to paint it all now i have been thinking of new names for her, Pandemic and Covid are no longer contenders, it will most likely be "SIRA" my surname in reverse and i can name her from the kit contents photo etch

Fantastic news, and well done Caldercraft for actually answering someone's email
-
Very nice, that photo takes me back a few years to building mine

That sounds an intresting idea, im looking to see if my amerigo would ever berth along side with sails stowed but sail lines that attach to them left in place, i just dont think i can make the sails look realistic
