harlequin Posted September 7, 2022 Author #2 Posted September 7, 2022 frames and the first lower decks added....this is a tiny model and will probably pose just as many problems as much bigger kits.. catopower and GrandpaPhil 2
harlequin Posted September 7, 2022 Author #3 Posted September 7, 2022 a little of Peregrines transom completed....the 50p coin shows just how small this build is....brings its own set of problems. Knocklouder, GrandpaPhil, Ian_Grant and 4 others 7
hamilton Posted November 5, 2022 #4 Posted November 5, 2022 Whoa - just finding this one as well - I think this kit came out at the same time as the Corel Greyhound - how does this one compare - I remember the instructions and plans of Greyhound being very sketchy.... hamilton current builds: Corel HMS Bellona (1780); Admiralty models Echo cross-section (semi-scratch) previous builds: MS Phantom (scuttled, 2017); MS Sultana (1767); Corel Brittany Sloop (scuttled, 2022); MS Kate Cory; MS Armed Virginia Sloop (in need of a refit); Corel Flattie; Mamoli Gretel; Amati Bluenose (1921) (scuttled, 2023); AL San Francisco (destroyed by land krakens [i.e., cats]); Corel Toulonnaise (1823); MS Glad Tidings (1937) (refit, 2024); HMS Blandford (1719) from Corel HMS Greyhound; Fair Rosamund (1832) from OcCre Dos Amigos (missing in action); Amati Hannah (ship in a bottle); Mamoli America (1851); Bluenose fishing schooner (1921) (scratch); Off-Centre Sailing Skiff (scratch); Admiralty Models HMS Echo (1781), cross-section. under the bench: MS Emma C Barry; MS USS Constitution; MS Flying Fish; Corel Berlin; a wood supplier Colonial Schooner Hannah; Victory Models H.M.S.

harlequin Posted February 16 Author #6 Posted February 16 just playing around with the kit which i haven't touched for a considerable amount of time. the gun carriage is a white metal single cast with a separate barrel. to be fair they dont look too bad once a bit of colour is added. Zarkon, catopower and Baker 3
harlequin Posted March 2 Author #7 Posted March 2 a couple of first planks and the gun port openings...... catopower, Mr Whippy and Zarkon 3
harlequin Posted May 14 Author #8 Posted May 14 a few first planking done...... Zarkon, Knocklouder, catopower and 1 other 4
hamilton Posted May 14 #9 Posted May 14 Looking good Harlequin! This kit seems more sensibly designed than Greyhound. Are the strips supplied for second planking narrower? The first planking strips seem very wide for the scale - though the planking work itself is very good! hamilton current builds: Corel HMS Bellona (1780); Admiralty models Echo cross-section (semi-scratch) previous builds: MS Phantom (scuttled, 2017); MS Sultana (1767); Corel Brittany Sloop (scuttled, 2022); MS Kate Cory; MS Armed Virginia Sloop (in need of a refit); Corel Flattie; Mamoli Gretel; Amati Bluenose (1921) (scuttled, 2023); AL San Francisco (destroyed by land krakens [i.e., cats]); Corel Toulonnaise (1823); MS Glad Tidings (1937) (refit, 2024); HMS Blandford (1719) from Corel HMS Greyhound; Fair Rosamund (1832) from OcCre Dos Amigos (missing in action); Amati Hannah (ship in a bottle); Mamoli America (1851); Bluenose fishing schooner (1921) (scratch); Off-Centre Sailing Skiff (scratch); Admiralty Models HMS Echo (1781), cross-section. under the bench: MS Emma C Barry; MS USS Constitution; MS Flying Fish; Corel Berlin; a wood supplier Colonial Schooner Hannah; Victory Models H.M.S.

harlequin Posted May 14 Author #10 Posted May 14 a lot thinner yes.....various types too.... Zarkon 1
harlequin Posted June 13 Author #11 Posted June 13 fixed some of the second planking and a start has been made on the deck planking too. The white metal capstan isnt too bad a casting....will need some filing and paint but should look ok. A metal primer will be applied before any paint catopower 1
harlequin Posted June 16 Author #12 Posted June 16 A little more deck planking. ccoyle, BLACK VIKING and catopower 3
harlequin Posted June 19 Author #14 Posted June 19 Canons placed on the deck to get a feel for how they will look. catopower 1
harlequin Posted 23 hours ago Author #15 Posted 23 hours ago (edited) A little further on with Peregrine. I always try a little furniture as I progress. Staircases not fitted yet. I am using all the cast metal fittings with this kit to see how Corel intended their finished article to look like..warts and all. The castings aren’t that bad actually, just need a few touch ups.

Jackson7 Posted 21 hours ago #16 Posted 21 hours ago Your woodwork looks pristine! Very well-fitted planks.
Stevinne Posted 19 hours ago #17 Posted 19 hours ago Nice build. I like the idea of a small ship, as display space starts to get tight after a few builds. I'm interested to see how this turns out pretty much straight out of the box. So far, pretty impressive. catopower 1 Under construction: Mamoli Roter Lowe Completed builds: Constructo Enterprise, AL Le Renard Up next: Panart Lynx, MS Harriet Lane In need of attention: 14-foot Pintail in the driveway

Ronald-V Posted 6 hours ago #19 Posted 6 hours ago That looks beautiful so far! harlequin 1 Currently working on the HMS Sphinx from Vanguard Models
harlequin Posted 5 hours ago Author #20 Posted 5 hours ago cheers for the comments...the smallest ship I have taken on and probably just as challenging if not more so than my previous corel builds. Ronald-V 1
harlequin Posted 2 hours ago Author #21 Posted 2 hours ago Second planking now being contained. Bit scrappy at the moment but a final sanding when finished should smooth it all ok.
