Dfell Posted February 20, 2014 Author #61 Posted February 20, 2014 Thank you, Ron. How have you been - not seen you for a while? Might have a go at HMS Bounty (Amati) but not just yet, will have a break but still be keeping an eye on yours and everyone's builds...Again thanks for all your help - as you say the instruction aren't that brilliant but I guess that is the fun bit....

Mirabell61 Posted April 13, 2014 #69 Posted April 13, 2014 Thank you for looking in and your comments, Amfibius. I think I have finally finished !!! Have made up a deck pump from a combination of one from Caldercraft and an Amati one. Although I still have another one to do I may not fit them on the ship as there is really no space - gets a bit tight. The handle had a bit of walnut strip added both sides and sanded round otherwise it would have been flat brass. _DSC0012.JPG Anchors fitted. _DSC0014.JPG _DSC0022.JPG Rounded lump added for the sling to sit on - plus having been very impressed by Beef Wellington's (Jason) serving thought I'd have an attempt on the slings. _DSC0021.JPG Final photo _DSC0030.JPG Thank you for looking and and all the comments and those on the old site whose build of the Supply helped me get started. Hopefully I may have helped someone in return.

hornet Posted July 8, 2014 #70 Posted July 8, 2014 A very, very impressive build!! The detail is remarkable. I am particularly impressed with your paintwork. I assume you used Admiralty Paints??

Dfell Posted July 10, 2014 Author #73 Posted July 10, 2014 hornet - hamilton - and JesseLee Thanks for looking at my build and your lovely comments. hornet - I used Admiralty paints, diluted with some water - hand brushed several coats with sanding in between. Been building a balsa wood WW1 plane kit - but will get back to ship building. Also have another distraction - have just had a 1963 Lambretta TV175 series 3 scooter restored to play with.... Had a case built as well for HM Brig Supply - so a bit poor at the moment Regards Doug MarisStella.hr, kiwiron, Dubz and 3 others 6 Quote Completed: HM Brig Supply - JoKita / Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Fly - Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Sherborne - Caldercraft 1:64 HM Brig Flirt - Vanguard 1:64
geoff Posted July 11, 2014 #74 Posted July 11, 2014 Hey Up Doug, Your "Supply" looks good in it's case. Could I ask where you got it from as mine is nearly ready? Like the aircraft model, as an ex "Rocker" not sure about the Lambretta though!! Geoff Quote
Dfell Posted July 11, 2014 Author #75 Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) geoff - hello. Have sent you a pm but not sure if it worked. So if you did not get the pm the answer to your question as where I got the case - sshardwoodworking.co.uk - and the guy's name is Simon.

geoff Posted July 13, 2014 #76 Posted July 13, 2014 thanks for the info. Doug, I looked up the address you gave me, he certainly knows his stuff! I now have to summon up the courage to ask for a quote & leave the info for the Admiral to see(accidentally on purpose)! Geoff Quote
RonaldB Posted January 30, 2015 #77 Posted January 30, 2015 Hello Doug, I just bought theCaldercraft Supply also, but in my box I see no resign sloops, and the drawings mention nothing about windows in the stern. Did you "super" detailed them, or can it be that you have a different version? Quote
Dfell Posted January 31, 2015 Author #78 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) RonaldB - Hi - yes the windows were a scratch built but not sure what 'resign sloops' are but if they are not in the box then I either bought them or made them Wish you well with your Supply build and will look forward to it with interest and can certainly help you if you require any as I am sure the others on here who also have built Supply will like to help.RegardsDoug Edited November 11, 2016 by Dfell GuntherMT, Captain Poison, john2013 and 3 others 6 Quote Completed: HM Brig Supply - JoKita / Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Fly - Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Sherborne - Caldercraft 1:64 HM Brig Flirt - Vanguard 1:64
RonaldB Posted February 1, 2015 #79 Posted February 1, 2015 Hello Doug, Thanks for your reaction. About the windows at the stern, i will see what I do The sloops i was referring too, i wrote it wrong, must be resin (the material), i have seen these somewhere on the net, they are very good detailed and accurate mini models. For now, i go along making a carefull start whit my Supply. When i need help, i sure will not hesitate to ask. Regards, Ron Quote
Telp Posted February 12, 2016 #80 Posted February 12, 2016 Just read through this whole build and what a stunning piece of work you have created, infact I have now given up wanting to do the Pickle, this model is going to be my next step on the ladder. There is something pretty special showing a ship with no sails, I think they look tons better in the rigging scenario only. Great job my friend and thanks indeed for posting something so interesting it was impossible not to just keep reading.

CharlieZardoz Posted February 13, 2016 #81 Posted February 13, 2016 Truly the best Supply ive seen yet. I love the modifications to the stern windows.

Telp Posted March 2, 2016 #82 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Hi Doug, can I just ask please.... The lifeboat on your supply, was this part of the kit? I got mine today and am doing the inventory check and there is not one with the kit, so I thought I'd better ask just in case this is a self build by yourself or an addition as such. Thanks for any feedback. Terry Edited March 2, 2016 by Telp Quote Current build: Caldercraft 1:64 HM Brig Supply Finished builds: HMS Endeavours longboat
Dfell Posted March 4, 2016 Author #83 Posted March 4, 2016 Hello Telp - bought the ship's boat from Cornwall Model Boats. Link to web site and item: http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/caldercraft-ships-boats.html Hope this helps and hope you got my message awhile back thanking you for your previous nice comments. Thanks again Regards Doug Telp 1 Quote Completed: HM Brig Supply - JoKita / Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Fly - Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Sherborne - Caldercraft 1:64 HM Brig Flirt - Vanguard 1:64
Telp Posted March 4, 2016 #84 Posted March 4, 2016 Many thanks Doug, I have duly ordered one, I am going to go for the windows option at the stern as well, that really does set it off. I think I saw them on the cornwall site, little 4 pane metal ones. Must admit, I am not sure about the kit ladder, I think I will be hunting other bits down, this happened when I use to build aircraft, I think 50 per cent ended up being bought or self made. regards Quote Current build: Caldercraft 1:64 HM Brig Supply Finished builds: HMS Endeavours longboat
donrobinson Posted April 26, 2016 #85 Posted April 26, 2016 Hello Doug, indeed a magnificent build. Very impressive build log and beautiful work(too bad so many pictures got lost).

Telp Posted November 8, 2016 #86 Posted November 8, 2016 Hi Doug, was wondering if I could ask please where you got the brass stand fittings from for the build, I was having a think on how to mount and remembered seeing these.
