Ronald-V Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share #212 Posted November 20, 2019 Finally named her...🙂 Used tape to measure the position. And found letters at Cornwall Model Ships at the right size and color. Afterward I applied a thin layer of varnish.

Ronald-V Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share #213 Posted November 20, 2019 The font is probably not accurate...but much better then the original letters that came with the box...don't really understand why Caldercraft supplied such letters as this: GrandpaPhil, Old Collingwood, Edwardkenway and 2 others 5 Quote Currently working on the HMS Sphinx from Vanguard Models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its almost impossible to straighten an MDF one - ply is juuust possible but not worth the effort. You are owed a replacement - ask for it from your supplier Where are you - in the UK and most countries the supplier is responsible NOT the manufacturer Yes I did not start with the kit yet. I live in the Netherlands but purchased the kit at Cornwall Model Boats. If that is the case like you said then I will send an email to CMB for a replacement. Thanks for tuning in!

Ronald-V Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share #220 Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Small update...installed the Fore gaff, main gaff and driver boom. There is a lot more to learn regarding rigging...like which knots etc. But that takes time I guess. Nice to discover which line is for what part to move or hold still.

I diluted some black paint, that worked fine. The only difference with the indian ink is...that diluted paint dries somewhat hard up. And with the ink the line keep more flexibel. 11 hours ago, Blue Pilot said: Great job! She looks beautiful. Thank you!

Just take everything step by step. By the way...those hanging pendants, that you need to attach at the beginning on the main mast cap...those aren't for anything. They are just hanging there . You can even see it on the box with the prototype. 19 hours ago, Dubz said: Sure, think about the forces the needs to be handled 🙂 Dirk Hm...I will think about it, but maybe i'm saving that for the Pegasus But thanks for al your input in this log, it's very inspiring!
