Beef Wellington got a reaction from Jorge Diaz O in HMS Jason by Beef Wellington - Caldercraft - 1:64 - Artois-class frigate modified from HMS Diana 1794

Welcome aboard Ian 🙂
A rather dreary rainy day precluded any other activities so as able get a decent amount of time in. Spent most of the day completing the cannon carriages, these really are incredibly time consuming and seemingly never ending, but can now report are complete. I did decide to cheat a little on those carriages that will be mostly obscured away from the waist. Rather than continuing to use the pins to simulate bolts which are incredibly fiddly, the carriage bolts were simulated using a fine tip black pen and then touch of dark iron paint to tone it down. Pins have been used on all the carriages that will mount in or immediately about the waist. The macro photo below shows the 'real' bolts in the foreground and the 'cheat' in the rear. At real life viewing distance these are difficult to tell apart if you didn't know - the difference really being the lack of about 8hrs of cursing.
Experimentation with the cap squares and royal cyphers next...

Beef Wellington reacted to toms10 in HMS Leopard by toms10 - FINISHED - 1:85 scale POF/POB
Hello all
It has been a while since I updated my log. I have been working on my Leopard in spurts and did manage to get some things done. I made all the cannons for the upper gun deck. They are just dry fit for now. I was busy reworking single and double blocks to make them look “acceptable” along with about 100 eyes for the cannon tackle. Lately I have been spending most of my time making components, tiny components that are time consuming. But that is what scratch building is all about. There will be plenty of assembly later.
I also built some of the quarter deck. Still have a lot of work to do there.
Progress has been slow but steady.

Beef Wellington reacted to jim_smits in HMS Snake by jim_smits - Caldercraft - First Build
Well, spent the evening trimming excess thread from several half finished bits of rigging and generally tidying up.
Then proceeded to pore over the rigging diagrams. After a three year hiatus it’s taking a while to get my head round them again!
