  4. Kevin
    OOOOOOOOOOPS, i thought they were fairly recent kits
  5. Kevin
    i just had a look at the model motorcars, some nice expensive goodies in there, but just asking myself if the kit could have made better components in the first place
  6. Kevin
    wow it is so very clean, tidy and precise, very nice indeed

    Day 24 keelson good evening everyone well i have made it this far, no where as nice and tidy as others that i have seen, but i do tend to show it as it is, and as stated many times before, i never like what i have produced, im allways wanting to do better and lol never achieving it, however the the admiral loves it and so does my doggie the upper keel. i thought would be a two minute job, as i have been test fitting as the frames went in, WRONG it has taken me hours to get a decent fit on 80% the stern one will wait until tomorrow

    What a stunning build, i had never heard of them until this year then i read the build log by @kpnuts Ducati 1299 Panigale, a lot of work to achieve a wonderful result, i presume the Rolls will be the same
  12. Kevin
    Thank you @Tankerman i have actually drawn the line at 7.2mm so i will go just a little deeper tomorrow, it was very handy having the laser etched cannon template handy, otherwise i could have been in a right mess tonight
  13. Kevin
    thank you been getting dark over here much earlier, and the flash is kicking in, mading the wood appear quite washed out, not had many outside photos of this build, but this is one of them, i did go for the cheaper option, and maybe there is a more of a mismatch in wood colours, BUT, i also never expected it to come together like it has, so im more than happy

    good evening everyone day 23 transom timbers fitted the last frame (57) caused me a bit of trouble, it is wider than the jig, so was lifting the keel away from the jig base, im glad i spotted it before fixing the stern timbers in, all i had to do was fair them off roughly and it dropped back into place the timbers themselves all fitted exactly as per the instructions, and i also pinned them into position what is the proper name for the stern timbers? sorted nearely made a big mistake tonight and put the deck mounts in the wrong position, I presumed the blue line on the plans was where the boards go, but looking ahead, i could see that the cannons would be far to high so i checked another build and found the blue line refers to the top of the deck, which means i would have been 7mm to high, the build i found was after he had actually finished and had to rip it all out so i have protected the plans with tracing paper, and drawn a new line under that, so i now have my deck beam heights

    Good afternoon everyone day 22 hawse timbers fitted thank you for comments and likes i would like to think im getting better at the wooden kit building, or the quality of the kit is, lol must be the latter thats the hawse timbers in, although i needed to remove a bit of wood
  16. Kevin
    at wood supplied by @cafmodel is very good, once the Char is removed it needs nothing else doing to it, other than the bevel, which is marked where required. however i have not bevelled mine, i will use the marks as reference when the time of sanding arrives
  17. Kevin
    Thank you OC, hows family, i will look in on you log in the morning, im struggling to stay awake tonight,
  18. Kevin
