  1. A few more second planks fitted. Looks really scruffy on film. Peregrine sat astride Endeavour to get the shot of the bow. The uneven walnut colouring of the second planking adds a strange difference to the hull but I am going with it.
  2. Second planking now being continued. Bit scrappy at the moment but a final sanding when finished should smooth it all ok.
  3. cheers for the comments...the smallest ship I have taken on and probably just as challenging if not more so than my previous corel builds.
  4. the only thing i am changing is the second planking width.....going for 3mm planks instead of the kit 4mm planks
  5. A little further on with Peregrine. I always try a little furniture as I progress. Staircases not fitted yet. I am using all the cast metal fittings with this kit to see how Corel intended their finished article to look like..warts and all. The castings aren’t that bad actually, just need a few touch ups.
  6. gun ports looking spot on....i had several issues with my gun ports which is documented in my build log, but yours are coming along nicely.
  7. Canons placed on the deck to get a feel for how they will look.
  8. yes...corels fitting can lead you to drink......keep going with her...it will frustrate and annoy but will eventually reward you..
  9. fixed some of the second planking and a start has been made on the deck planking too. The white metal capstan isnt too bad a casting....will need some filing and paint but should look ok. A metal primer will be applied before any paint
  10. is the correct answer....I never get too hung up on mistakes....i like my builds to have knocks and scrapes on them....a perfect looking model ship looks too sterile and soulless....you are now part of your Victory and it tells your story of the build......looks fine to me.
  11. hi from Lancashire.....i'm a former paratrooper that likes ships....I know...unusual....get yourself a simple kit and give it a go....you really don't need too much kit to begin with.
  12. looking at my old build log I realised I never posted more pics. I will have to do some soon. Watch this space.
