  1. so far so good, but only two so far are fixed into position, its a joy to do this build, the only bits that let it down are bits i have to do, lol no pretty pictures to follow now, im on masting/rigging, for me the most enjoyable bit
  2. good evening everyone, thank you for comments and likes day 174-6 ive been busy recently, with lots of gardening, and other projects, and in the last 10 days we have been in the process of finding and new puppy to go with our boi, that has been successful, and will be with us in about 6 weeks time as for the build i still continue to do a bit daily, however done more today, as i wanted to see if any of my toys are worth keeping, if so, to use them, which is what has happened, and IMHO quite well
  3. Good evening everyone Thank you for comments and likes day 157-2 main channels in place the main and mizzen channels were the easiest to get into position due the to way the kit was designed, the fore however took a few attempts to get right as i lost the lines due to painting and sanding, as a result i went back to the wood and it made it a simple task to get the alignment
  4. good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 46-4 head timbers well that went a lot better then i thought, the head timbers are complete a couple of alignment changes to be made, otherwise i am quite happy how she looks lots of painting now required love the clever way the cathead knees are formedlove the clever way the cathead knees are formed
  5. good evening everyone Thank you for all the comments and likes, very much appreciated 144-4 side rails are now fitted on both sides, although they look symmetrical it also looks so very tatty, for me thats been the most frustrating part of the build, with little to show for a weeks work
  6. Christmas is not out of the window, but im not racing to complete her by then, i have a few builds that need to be completed, and i have ambitions to do a two decker in the future,
  7. originally as one piece, but as the after section has been removed a few time the piece you are referring to has also been taken off and yes it looks wrong
  8. good evening everyone Thank you for comments and likes day141-4 have spent the last few days trying to get the side rails to look right, although they are nearly there, they are far from brilliant, the pain for me, is getting the last section over the after three ports where it ccrosses the banding, ten attempts so far without joy, the yellow has to be redone as the banding has moved slightly, all in all, im loving this, build, any fault there are are due to my stooooooopidity
