Hi Mark,

 

Beautiful hull! It's a special phase of the build to complete. Now onto the finishing phase!

 

I am also one of the "Cutty Club", building an older Billing kit. I'll follow along with yours to get ideas and inspiration.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

Looks nice.

 

I have to ask: is there ani reason to step of the regular coopering approach?

 

 

 

post-4738-0-22732800-1459285291_thumb.jpg

 

I was thinking it is not important. But when lines started to narrow, I realised rule for coopering is not accidental!

 

Still not to late to correct. You are doing fine, and it will not be hard for you

Hi Nenad, at this point I am following the offset pattern stern to bow. At the point where the lines change, I will be following closely the pattern you show. I'm hoping for the top two dress rows but I might have three, the copper is 5x10mm. I'm sure it will work it's way out, we'll see what happens.
Thanks for your input, you are doing a great job on your CS.

Thanks Dave, I believe you have to be a bit nuts to do plating.

Hi Mark,

Your build is coming on very, very nicely

Yup, Copping is a bit Nuts but I think you have truly mastered it!!

(There's always another Build that requires this)

 

All ship models are different as I have found out.Loving it!! (Have to have something to live for.)

 

If I can say, my work colleagues have described previously, that Ship Modelling is the "Pinnacle" of Modelling.

 

Your Coppering efforts esp. are looking awesome!!

 

Nice Build.

 

Happy to share if an issues/problems but understand that there are more "learned" than I.

 

Enjoy!!

 

Cheers and Regards.

 

Harry.

Hi Mark,

O.K. a few pictures, seems like a lifetime ago.... :)

 

Photos are in no particular order, sorry.

Included, Brass bulwarks, Spider Band, Stanchion detail, and I do not have any photos of the Mast Caps, before anmd after, only in place on the Fore, Main and Mizzen.

The aft hole of these needs modification only, the Fore and Main Mast diameter is 10mm and the Mizzen is 8mm from memory.

All the rest, Top Masts and Top Gallant are fine as these are tapered.

 

Bowsprit/Jib Boom Cap is good to go also.

 

The Deckhouses are only placed on in the early photos until all bulwark fittings were complete, otherwise I'd be painting myself into a corner, so to speak.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers....HOF.

 

 

Beautiful pic sequence Hof,

 

a very nice inspiration for all CS builders here at MSW
