Wintergreen Posted December 20, 2024 #361 Posted December 20, 2024 Great progress on your serving skills, Tim! And yes, it is difficult with the magnifier and hand coordination. For the moment I use x2 magnifiers, which is manageable. I tried the x3 but then everything got very distorted. Keep it up! oakheart 1 Happy modelling!

But as your ropes get smaller, I found it really helps with getting things right. oakheart 1 Current Builds: HMS Perseus (Scratch) Completed Builds: Type VII C U Boat (HobbyBoss); HM Cutter Alert (Vanguard Models)

I just checked and mine are X3, that could be part of my problem... I will see if I can get other lenses for this model.

oakheart Posted December 31, 2024 Author #364 Posted December 31, 2024 I managed a couple of hours model making between eating, drinking and making merry. Got the pumps made. Not sure if they need iron lids or not.

oakheart Posted Thursday at 11:23 AM Author #365 Posted Thursday at 11:23 AM work for this year has started. I had to move the pumps back towards the stern and jack the ships boat up a bit to make it clear the skylight but I think it looks okay.

oakheart Posted Friday at 05:12 PM Author #368 Posted Friday at 05:12 PM Thanks to both @SaltyScot and @Thukydides for the compliments and all of the likes. Still more deck fittings and anchors to do before I get started on the rigging, oh and the cannons.
