good evening everyone was hoping to complete the masts today, but binging on watching "The Crown" now 1/2 way through Season 4, then onto the the deck blocks sorry about pictures on the side, all attempts to put upright are failing me

Good morning everyone. thank you for likes and comments well i sorted the brass trollies out, i managed to break one, but a couple of spares are provided. they are now all the right way arouns cutting the rebates for the mast spares was next and they are now firmly fixed into position, the brass track running down the front mast is also on, but i don't see how that works at present, instruction are quite vague

good evening everyone lots of little projects happening at the same time, the guard rails were fun to do, cutting the length of brass tube into 30mm lengths, resizing the feet as they are offset drilled a cap a split pin make up one of the ten required two of the 3 covers are now complete, i will have to make a new shell for the third as it had been lost the sail trollies, a nice simple job, fold to fit the runner, but fold the right way, no my way, all are having to be flattened out and shaped the right way these are still to be done

@Ian_Grantand @scrubbyj427 thank you, with the blue colour, i may change the name of her, as the real Dorade remained White, but yes she makes a nice build, im still amazed how tall she is though
-
good evening everyone back to boat building for the foreseeable future the Dorade must be completed before anything else, then i would like to get back to the Amerigo Vespucci, and of course the Enterprise Rigging blocks two sizes 6 large and about 20 smaller ones, and something i have never seen before, you have to make your own from mini kits and they look quite good when completed

Agreed, love the hippo/pigs

Building a Medieval fortress - by Waitoa - Del Prado 1/87
Kevin replied to Waitoa's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
very nice indeed im so glad you are carrying on with it, mine has now gone on the back burner, as my yearning to boat build has come back to me -
good evening everyone finally worked out how the diorama is going to work out for me, ever since the walled city became a walled harbour, the intention was to put a vessel in there, the vessel will bee the Caldercraft Mary Rose as it sits in around the 15th 16th Century time frame i will be working on this project for another couple of weeks and then turn my attention to finishing of at least one project (the Dorade) meanwhile i have altered the right hand corner again the accommodate the jetty, hopefully it will be tidied off tomorrow the new area looks a bit messy at present due to using pieces that were on the old design, nothing is being wasted, in a worst case, the bricks are soaked in warm water to release the PVA glue are reused new jetty, this need to be about 6" inches longer to accommodate the Mary rose the distance from the edge of the round tower to the jetty edge is 30'
