    Thank you Jason I'm still trying to declare what's the more safe way of keep her stable and safe in to the future. Placing her on a base using cradles or fixing her on two 2mm rods as I have already predrilled the respective holes at her keel.... Happy New Year !!
  2. drtrap
    Jim, your experienced skill is more and more actually enhanced under those steps of revision of her status. Keep up the work and Happy New Year !!

    Hi Jason please do tell us about the base.. Where did you buy it from? Thanks ST
  4. drtrap
    Many thanks, Norman. Merry Christmas to you and to everyone of you my friends.

    Today, I plan to sand down the channel and attach the chesstree in place without open the hole on it. I'll drill the hole later on just to realize first the appropriate point/height to pass the rigging of the main tackle.
  6. drtrap
    Very interesting topic Jason. I've already bookmarked it !!
  7. drtrap
    Thank you Jason I feel that the hole is important for a kind of support for the rigging of the main tackle. I think I'll leave the chesstree unmounted till that stage of rigging to accomodate better its position and the possible sanding of the channel.... Cheers

    Echo that Garward we're waiting for your next tutors....

    This is the point of concern. As you see the only way (to have the fender at least flush with the vertical border of the small opening) is to place it underneath the posterior edge of the foremast channel. As I'm still in a preliminar stage of the build I don't know what's the functional use of that fender/chesstree....What do u think, to fix it under the posterior edge of the channel or leave it for a next phase of the consrtuction? Thanks.

    Oh yes Norman, I've chequed their position a lot of times... I'll try to upload a couple of pics to see better the misalignment.... Thanks

    Hi, I try to fit the side fenders but no "room" to place the single, most anterior of them cause the the posterior edge of the foremast channel ends in a point which intersects the small rectangular opening of the bulwark (can't remember its name...). The plan of the kit is definitely so different... I'll leave the single fenders/chesstrees(?) unmounted for the mo and I'll see later what to do about

    Nice revision Jim!!

    Hi Jason, I ordered the blocks here: http://www.radekshipmodels.cz/en/list-of-kits-and-accessories/accessory---blocks They are (and looked) so tiny! Pics to follow...
  14. drtrap
    Finally all the aftermarket 32's carronade kits arrived, so I prepare myshelf to deal with the weaponry. In the mean time I have received the aftermarket 2mm double blocks for the rigging of the guns. I hope those blocks of 2mm to be an interesting alternative option.

    I know that I'm moving like a turtle, but as I have'nt plenty of time.... Deck the halls !!

    I'm totally sure that I'll see her more beautiful than ever Jim.

    I'm very very sorry to hear your news Jim... I can't believe that... Now I know better why, every time at the end of my shipyard-work I had the tendency to move the model in more safe places even I have'nt any cat... I know that my build is so many steps behind you (no masts, no minor fittings on the desk) but the danger of such accidents was always in my mind.. Wish you the best my friend and please, stay with us...
  18. drtrap
    Thank you Jim. I've additionaly fixed (and secured, I think) the stropped deadeyes into the channels slots using epoxy glue.... Finally the slots are closed using custom made walnut 1,5X1,5 strips, next step black-painting of the channles using my favourite Vallejo's matt black..
  19. drtrap
    Hi guys, I'm wondering about that almost vertical strip-like plank indicated by the arrows on the plan at the most aft edge of the outer bulwarks. Have you realized, what exactly it is? It is a walnut profile strip, I can;t understand by looking the plans/manual.... Thank you.
  20. drtrap
    Echo that Echo this!! Ahoy!
  21. drtrap
    Hi Jim it's so interesting and educational to follow every step of your build..!! Waiting to see your latest progress...
  22. drtrap
    Hello again Jason as i'm waiting for the dispatch of the aftermarket carronades etc could you please tell me how have you fixed the rope hole on the barrel? Using cyano, epoxy glue or soldering. Thank you. Stergios
  23. drtrap
    ...actually I'm looking for my calculator !!
  24. drtrap
    Just wanted to see and hear your opinion regarding the double blocks of 2 mm!! I think that those are more suitable to the 32'lbs carronades... http://www.radekshipmodels.cz/en/list-of-kits-and-accessories/accessory---blocks

    Channels "fittings" in place, in need of a next final touch up of the painting.
