I lament the non-existence of a good Thermopylae kit (wood or plastic. Sergal or any other reputable kit maker). I would be wary of interchangeable components, Revell did that and it didn't turn out well at all. Some little things, sure, but they are very different vessels. LeoM, your hull is coming along very nicely. Quote Current build: Cutty Sark by VitusBering - Revell - 1:96 - Redux -- Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I have been working constantly on her, but the brass bulwark caused more scratching behind the ear than I expected. To tell the truth there were more than 526 planks to be laid on the 2nd layer. But having polished the hull the best I could, it is a joy to feel the lines of the hull 😄 And now I will have to start on the 2500+ copper plates 🤔 Hi there, Looking really good!! Are you intending to Plank inboard of the Bulwarks? Cheers....HOF.

My Fathers Son Posted May 26, 2023 Share #33 Posted May 26, 2023 I also agree, your hull looks really good, the brass bulwark is a nice touch. I don't lament the Kit version of Thermopylae as I wouldn't be able to afford it. But a decent set of plans in 1:95 would be be very welcome instead of a bodged conversion of CS plans. It would save me a lot of hard work in FreeCAD or 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoM Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share #36 Posted July 22, 2023 I am coppering plate by plate (15 x 5 mm) and overlapping each of them. A slow process, but I am happy with the result.
