  1. good progress Hamilton....i have not done any building for a while....sold a couple of kits that i will never get round too......keep going with Bellona.....looking good
  2. thanks for the comments people...i have not used any varnish at all on this build and the hull looks fine.....I may try a little matt varnish on her hull just to bring out the wood a little but tbh i dont think it needs it.
  3. Cheers Thistle....this kit has a lot of detractors, but to me it is just a model that needs building...it may not be historically accurate but I dont care....the finished ship looks fine and will join my other corel builds....I am halfway through corels endeavour as we speak...
  4. Apart from some rigging hanks and maybe the flags....Unicorn is FINISHED.
  5. a few of us greyhound veterans will be following you with a good deal of nostalgia srenner....you will find this kit frustrating and we all know the temptation to give up on her but keep with it.....when finished it is a nice little ship and as we greyhound builders look back with affection and suddenly all the frustration and angst was worth it.
  6. like Old Collinwood said earlier....a few of us have completed this kit and you can end up with a good looking model.......keep at it and good luck
  7. cheers Alan.....i dont have an issue with the accuracy of any model...it is just a hobby for me.....I have completed several corel kits and I bought this one for £15 ......i try to use what comes with the kit to see what results are produced......I think Unicorn looks great even if you think it is a poor example.....in terms of accuracy that may well be the case, but as a model I think it looks ok and that is why I build....
  8. Unicorn nearing completion.....the last remaining yards need final rigging and that will be it....
  9. Unicorn has progressed quite well....all the yards are now in position, just the final few rigging lines are required to secure.
  10. not done much yet but will let you know when i progress a little....
