Thanks Pat. I did this for a friend who worked for a while,taking Timber to the beach on the Island of Mull, wher it was loaded like this.

One of my favourites. If it wasn't for these guys 'The Few'would have been even fewer and flying Gliders!

Beef Wellington reacted to Kevin in HMS Fife by Kevin - Fleetscale - 1/72 - County-class destroyer - SOLD
Good evening everyone
more progress made this weekend
but i think i went a bit over the top on the decking, so i may take some of it out and go to steel plates, i will wait for the rivet counters to rip my head off (on F/ that is)
this is the bit I may have to do again, even though i dont think it looks out of place, This Vessels had a lot of wooden decks
having done lots of sanding i applied a rattle can to the Signal deck area, this now shows the bits left to be resanded
Search light pedistals
the square platform is the area for the binacle
some lighting going in, you can still see the areas that need working on, with filler and sanding

Aft platform and mizzenmast step completed and installed.

Jason,
Great idea leaving a lip for their capping strip on the channel so it all flows smoothly once that is in place, particularly with the rounded edges. Subtle but, makes a difference.

First work on the masting has now been done with the making and mounting of the bowsprit and jibboom. Both the bowsprit and jibboom were made from dowels, shaped appropriately, stained golden oak, and then painted black where called for. The cap was cut from boxwood sheet, beveled, holes drilled and filed, and painted black. Various boxwood cleats were added for the gammoning, rigging collars and a jibboom stop.
After assembling the bowsprit, jibboom and cap, I added the lashing for the jibboom and then the collars for the bobstay, shrouds and forestay. A jackstaff was made and mounted to the cap. I then mounted the assembled unit and added the gammoning.
The Hahn drawing provides limited detail as to the masting and rigging, so I am using Lees to provide information on sizing of masting and rigging components.

Beef Wellington reacted to RMC in HMS Vanguard by RMC - FINISHED - Amati/Victory Models - scale 1:72
Alan: here are a couple of photos that may help you with the 'seat of ease' issue. My small, rather unhappy sailor needs a bit more work, but that will have to wait a little. He does, however look better in the flesh (as it were) than the photos suggest. This week is rather busy and his final paint job will have to wait for the new year. I hope it gives you the idea though - and what a great idea.
For every one who has looked at this log, or may in the future, a happy Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.
In the new year I will start a Granado log for those who may be interested.

Beef Wellington reacted to SJSoane in HMS Bellona 1760 by SJSoane - Scale 1:64 - English 74-gun - as designed
Yesterday I managed to cut out all of the wales parts. To refine the curved edges, I cut a sanding template to the radius of the wales in sheer in the center, and I am using this with my shooting board. The shooting board has a sloped ramp for the sanding template, which means a wider surface of sanding paper is presented to the piece as it slides back and forth, using the sandpaper more efficiently and avoiding grooves in the piece.

Looks great Mark, nice to see some progress again. Looks to be lots of interesting (i.e. challenging) angles at the bow there.
