Keith Black Posted April 30, 2020 Share #543 Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) The fourth photo. If you scroll down where you can't see the upper deck, the lighting, the door at the end, and especially the light on that third cannon, makes the scene look totally real. My mind sees dust particles hanging in the shafts of light, a spiderweb or two and hears the sound of creaking of wood. Super impressive!

I love those 'tween decks shots. I admit, you surprised me a bit with the photo above having the cannon hanging in the air.

KeithAug Posted May 4, 2020 Share #550 Posted May 4, 2020 You seem to be getting a lot of time in the shed Paul. I don't think I have ever used 3000 grit other than for polishing brass. You are clearly looking for perfection.

Treebeard Posted December 20, 2022 Share #554 Posted December 20, 2022 Hi All, I have enjoyed this build and am sad that Paul is not updating it. I sent him a message over a month ago and it has not been read. Anyway. HMS Sirius has been a love of mine for a while indeed. I hope Paul comes back! I would love to see (or do) a fully rigged model.. I hope he is ok. Guy mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote The Road goes ever on and on Out from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, Let others follow it who can! Let them a journey new begin, But I at last with weary feet Will turn towards the lighted inn, My evening-rest and sleep to meet.

I diligently searched any and all connections in the UK to Paul that I could conceive of but to no avail. In my heart I feel Paul has passed on and as difficult as it is I've made peace with Paul being no longer with us. mtaylor 1 Quote Current Builds: Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
