Isaiah Posted April 5 Author Share #154 Posted April 5 (edited) I was looking at how to rig the flag halyard and this is what the instructions say. This doesn’t look right to me, it looks too close to the boom. Any advice?

Isaiah Posted April 17 Author Share #159 Posted April 17 (edited) Flags are on, I had quite a bit of trouble with the house flag (see bottom photo) I did save it in the end by painting over the whole thing. One thing I learnt is to use something cylindrical to bend the flag around, otherwise it just makes ugly creases.

Coyote_6 Posted April 17 Share #160 Posted April 17 The save by painting over looks great - much less a flag printed on a 20-21st century printer and more an authentic look with some real depth of color. Awesome! Looks great in the photo!!

Isaiah Posted April 21 Author Share #164 Posted April 21 (edited) Here’s the Perseverance, my first model ship, fully complete after 15 months. I’ve learnt a lot over the course of building this kit, real life and model building. Even though there’s many flaws and inaccuracies, I’m still quite proud of this accomplishment. My main goal was to resemble something that looked like a wooden ship and I’m pretty sure I achieved that! Thanks to all who followed along and a big thanks goes to Michael and Steven, you’ve been a big help. @Ferrus Manus @Louie da fly Until next time, Isaiah Edited April 23 by Isaiah JacquesCousteau, aaronc, CiscoH and 9 others 7 1 4 Quote Current build: HM Cutter Sherbourne 1763 by Isaiah - Vanguard models - 1:64 Completed Builds: Perseverance -1807 - by Isaiah - 1:48 - Colonial Brig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
