Just Martin Posted March 12 Share #1 Posted March 12 First build after about thirty years, a christmas present that i try to do justice to. Sorry ,but quite advanced in the build and i did not log it. Made the mistake of trusting the kit at first , built the hull and some other stuff before looking at the rigging plans and realising the errors of my ways. Didn't even know the ship still existed , i am ashamed to say ! (But maybe they should have informed me in the instructions!) Some stuff will have to stay , but i am trying to scratch what i can to improve things and i am quite happy with that. The scale is rather small for such a ship , i think the kits at 1/84 or 1/72 would be preferable. So here is a kit illustration and a few recent photos. Feel free to comment on my catastrophies prow main deck with misplaced anchor hawsers plus oversize planking and deadeyes...many non kit additions. the poop , pictured with a cousin that i have just recovered for spares, allthough she is not on her best form. She makes me feel better when i look at mine ! try uploading here as i have been struggling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Martin Posted March 12 Author Share #2 Posted March 12 ah that is much better! It didn't like my browser somehow.. working on deck fittings and masts at the moment: companion ladder, all scratch. mizzen with all new mountings and steel cable lift pulleys for the crossjack yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
