Adrieke Posted August 16, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2017 Its been awhile but I am finally back to building. I recently moved and I don't have a workplace anymore at the moment, just a foldable table setup outside. that's why I got this kit which don't require as much room and I can pack away after I am done building for the day. So far I have already finished the first planking. I didn't take to many pics but I ll add them in the next post. popeye the sailor, Piet and Captain Poison 3 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cog Posted August 16, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2017 Nice to see you back at it Adrieke. It has certainly been some time. Sorry to hear you have lost your workbench due to the move. Any chance you will get some permanent place to build. Cheers Piet 1 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ...

Adrieke Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted August 20, 2017 Thanks Carl and Grant as promised an update on where I am at : I had a look at what the real Pilar looks like and If possible adapt my build to it. I am a bit confused though as I found pictures of it renovated where they removed most of the air intakes. hexnut, gjdale, popeye the sailor and 2 others 5 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cog Posted August 20, 2017 Share #5 Posted August 20, 2017 Nice going mon ami. What's the size of the boat. It is a bit hard guessing with your backgrounds and virgin table.
