Adrieke Posted November 24, 2013 #93 Posted November 24, 2013 Robert about the problem yo posted on Dragzz buildlog : the forward posts that hold up the lower deck i have he same issue. for me it was too late to move the lower holes forward a bit so what i am going to do is bend them a little so the will sit against the corner the bend is unnoticable unless you looko really close up Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80

robert1965 Posted November 30, 2013 Author #97 Posted November 30, 2013 Not done very much of the week. the plateaus made to the wheelhouse and the stairs and railings attached. The railing is only 2x2 mm and I have had a lot of work with it. Mirabell61, Sjors, Adrieke and 2 others 5 Quote Robert Current builds:Prins Willem - CorelH.M.S.

CaptCraig Posted January 5, 2014 #98 Posted January 5, 2014 Hi Robert. I am watching your log and I am filled with amazement! You are doing a great job tackling some of the issues that are inherent with this kit. I have just purchased it myself, and I can't wait to get started. I really like the changes you made on the windows and shutters. The yellow is a bit too much in my opinion. You did a fine job with the curved staircases as well. One of the biggest things that concerns me about this model is the deck support posts. I hope I am able to find a way to make them work for me! Thanks for sharing your build, Robert!
