Hello Chris. I did not know you could get it fixed. I have noticed other logs still have their photos and were finished well after mine. It would good if it could be fixed. Yes that would be really good. Thanks a lot David -

Greetings all. Well it’s nearly a year since I last posted. I need to have another prostate operation as my flow has slowed down, but as we all know, there is a rather long waiting list for operations and will be for a long time. Anyway let’s get on with the ship. I decided to restart the build after I spotted the David Lesters build Log of the Mayflower. I will finish the starboard side by cutting out the gun ports, and redoing the garbage forecastle and who knows ?? I may return with this side finished in a fashion. Here are a few photos, ignore the faults they do not matter !! Best wishes DAVID

Greetings David !! Excellent work. Only just restarted mine yesterday after seeing your finished model. I will finish a few rails on the deck and then return to the hull which should give me more incentive and reference from your build ..Yes, very impressive build, well done .Regards DAVID

Greetings all Well quite a bit of progress after a while. I have planked the decks, and tree nailed them. I did not trust myself using stain and after a few attempts I gave up. I was just making a mess and so I just reverted to coloured varnish and settled for beech. Well it’s good enough for me. The starboard side of the hull is fitted, and the port side is in place ready to be glued. Well now onto the next step, finish the stern and beak head. So that’s it for now. Thanks for visiting....here are a few photos. Lets hope they are better than the rubbish I posted earlier. best regards DAVID

Greetings all Well here I am back at last. The planking is at last completed and there will be no second planking. I myself am happy with it and surprised how little filler I am going to need, as it is better than I was expecting it to be, but then again that’s me, and it keeps me happy . OK the gun ports on the starboard side are a mess but that’s no problem, and I cut them a plank too low. The planking at the stern is a simple tidy up job, so we will come back to all that later. So off we go to the decks, which I shall now start planking. I shall start with the forecastle deck and try to emulate the tree nailing pattern as shown on page ten, which you may understand from the photos. Some of you may have seen the tool I used earlier which I had been given, and I did not know what it was !! until Mark explained it to me. So here we go with ship decks and the planking idea. Best regards DAVID

Greetings all Well I am off and running and enjoying this build. There are very few build logs, and I cannot find any that are completed. Anyway I am at the stage of fairing the bulk heads but thought I was rushing things, so thought I would do a little work on the deck for a few days. Anyway as I said I am happy with this little project. There is however one thing which bugs me, what is that rabbet strip for ? Were does the planking meet up with the rabbet strip or doesn’t it. Can someone show me a photo of the underside of the ship when it is finished. I cannot find one anywhere, so may have to improvise, but there’s quite a lot of time before I reach that stage . Anyway thanks for looking in and for your likes. Here’s a few photos. Catch you all later. Regards DAVID

Greetings all. Well here I am with a new build after abandoning my build of the Diana which I started about five years ago, but only built it on and off and obviously realized it would never be finished. Anyway I was advised by a good friend why not build a small ship “something to potter about with” he said. So here we have the model shipways Mayflower to in my friends words “ something to potter about with” and which my son bought me a few weeks ago. I have just two weeks ago had a prostate cancer op called a TURP which went really well, so let’s hope the build of the Mayflower goes as well. Well here we go, a few photos to start us off. Upside down ?? May have to start again regards. DAVID

Greetings all And thanks for all your reply’s and likes, alas only a little interest. I have just tonight arrived home from a prostate cancer operation, which I think has gone pretty well. I said to my son I will never finish the Diana., So he bought me Chucks Mayflower which he said should keep me happy for a while. I assembled all the bulkheads last week and will maybe start a log next week, let’s see how it goes. The Diana goes into the loft, and remains there for anyone who is ever interested. or maybe give it free in time to some one on the site who I believe in my opinion deserves it not for build logs, but for their input over a lot of years on the site, and l have noted pretty often , but not someone who makes offers. It’s silly for it to go to waste, but if it does sell for £150 the money would be donated to MSW ......regards DAVID

Greetings Mike No I did not seal the hull you are correct. I have taken a strip of photos along the hull and I am pretty happy with it. It’s the best I can manage at a dithery 77year old 🙁🙁 lol. Thanks a lot. Regards DAVE

I have the Hms Diana partially build, which I am unable to continue with. I have added photos of how far I have reached on the build. I stopped my build at the near end of coppering the Hull which I was unhappy with. Anyway I have added some photos which will show how things stand at the moment. Please message me if you are interested. I have it for sale for £250 and the buyer needs to collect uk only. Thank you DAVID

Greetings Mark
And how are you. I am waiting to go in Hospital for an
Operation on prostate, but it is not a major one. Did you manage to finish your Victory ? I have given up my Diana, and will be selling the ship and kit on MSW soon. I need something small and a bit easy to build now, so my Son has just presented me with the Mayflower kit by model Shipways. It’s only 22 inches long but will keep me happy. Let me know how things are, and maybe you can join me building your own Mayflower along side me. You take care. Best wishes DAVID

Hello David!
I have been wondering how you have been. So sorry to hear about the surgery and work on the Diana. That Mayflower kit seems to be just the ticket though. My wife and I have moved to the southern United States so still working on getting my shipyard set up. The Victory took some move damage which I have since repaired. Hoping to get back into the swing of things once I finish getting the shipyard set up. Cannot wait to get my hands back in it since we now have a house where I can adequately display the Victory!
Just curious, what would you be looking to sell your Diana for?
Take care and let me know how the surgery goes!
Mark

Greetings Mark Hope you are well. Yes mine is also sitting in dry dock, as it has been for the last few months needing those few tiles added. And Kevin is totally correct in what he says. I shall now start adding those tiles tomorrow, and look forward to seeing your deck. Best wishes DAVID
