Kevin reacted to harlequin in HMS Bellona by harlequin - FINISHED - Corel
well,... all of the yards and masts have had their preliminary blocks and ropes attached. On to the next stage now with the wonderful glorious magnificent stupendous reatlines to look forward too. Will add the masts tomorrow.....not long ago this build was in serious danger of imminent destruction such was the way things were progressing.....now I don't think the old girls looks to bad.

some of the yards completed.....corels blocks are not that good, but I am working with them. I roll them between my finger and thumb to knock any loose bits of wood from them and re drill some of the holes.
And just an aerial view of the ship. Masts have not been fixed.

Kevin got a reaction from PeterB010 in St Nectan by Kevin - FINISHED - Mountfleet Models - 1/32 - Steam Trawler - Completed June 2020
Good evening everyone
made a very stupid mistake today, whilst doing the photo shoot, the light breeze took the build for a flying lesson, did a little damage, you can see it in the photo on the capping rail port side by the yellow cod liver oil house, I was lucky to get away with it, because 30 seconds later it would have had the superstructure on
anyway the hull looks ok now, it is very nearly the same on both sides, the admiral didnt notice it, and anyway one side will never be seen again when in the diorama
so here are a few photos taken today post flying lesson
and another lesson learnt today, is acrylics do not adhere to silver oxcide spray paint, hence the whale back is looking patchy, lol i like the look

good evening everyone,i hope everyone is well and safe, Happy Easter,
the capping completed and foredeck is now in position, i should have left it another day, but changed my plans on the way ahead as i seam to be torn between the chicken and the egg. i cannot progress the deck with out doing the hull, and the hull is to big to move around to progress the deck with out scratching anything. but in the end, the hull won
the whaleback has had a coat of primer then aluminium oxide. and yellow ochre. the hull has been sanded and sanded, where to a stage it will have to do,
the red is Halfords Rattle can Red Primer, and the same brand Matt Black for the top of the hull, there is a lot of over-spray onto the red but it needs another coat

Good afternoon everyone
been thinking of how to display this 6 foot monster, and what configuration i would like to display, any ideas gratefully accepted
anyway with that in mind, i did a few detail bits
made the lockers look like they opened, still to be painted
a stash of barrels
and the ash chutes are fixed into position

Good morning everyone
Thank you for the likes and comments
the boom rigging will be done at a later date when i have a better understanding of where all the lines go, also depending on how she will be displayed
work progresses on the build, and i am thoroughly enjoying it, yesterday the stanchions above the ladders were completed,sprayed with white primer and a grime wash put on top
the big parts that were made up a few months ago and now being fitted, another week or so, i may have to put her on hold, as the hull will then require work and its just too wet/damp to do it,
